PCT No. PCT/IE95/00043 Sec. 371 Date May 2, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date May 2, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 23, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/06385 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 29, 1996An apparatus for dispensing fine particulate material includes a hopper for storing material to be dispensed, a discharge tube having a discharge nozzle and an auger for feeding stored material from the hopper to the discharge tube. The fine particulate material is regulated by a meter which meters the amount transferred by the auger to the discharge tube. Material is transferred to a container to be charged by positioning it against the discharge nozzle so that the auger transfers a predetermined amount of material from the hopper to the discharge tube. Material laden displaced air from the container escapes into a settling tube where the material in the displaced air is allowed to settle and fall by gravity into the container. |
