BLEND DROP CONVEYOR FOR DEPOSITING GRANULES ONTO AN ASPHALT-COATED SHEET

摘要

A method of applying blend drop granules (52) to an asphalt coated sheet (20) includes moving an asphalt coated sheet in a machine direction, depositing a blend drop of granules on a blend drop conveyor (30) that is moving at a first speed, changing the speed of the blend drop conveyor to a second speed that is closer to the speed of the moving asphalt coated sheet than is the first speed, and releasing the blend drop (60) from the blend drop conveyor for contact with the asphalt coated sheet.
