PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for supplying granules which can supply finely crushed biomass uniformly and continuously to a gas-firing furnace, or the like. SOLUTION: The crushed biomass which is fibrous granules housed in a cylindrical hopper 12 is supplied to a screw feeder 13 by agitating it with an agitator 14. With a large diameter part 13c formed in the tip part of the casing 13a of the screw feeder 13, the biomass which is restricted between adjacent screw blades 13b2 and compactedly/conveyed is released, and the masses of the biomass being crumbled by gravity are discharged downward through a square discharge opening 13a1, disintegrated by ejecting an air current with a fluidization cone 17, and conveyed to a destination through a conveyance conduit 18. |
