Dispensing apparatus for adding inoculants to the stream of molten iron flowing from the spout of a tilting ladle. The dispensing equipment comprises a hopper (4) for the inoculant with an outlet opening (5) in a first pipe (6). The inoculant is continuously and adjustably transported from the hopper (4) through the first pipe (6) and a second pipe (8) into the spout (!) of the ladle. The second pipe (8) is rotatably connected to the first pipe (6). A mounting frame (18) is suspended from the first pipe (6) by means of two bearings (16, 17), which are rotatably arranged about the first pipe (6). The mounting frame (18) is firmly affixed to the second pipe (8), and a mounting arm (21) is fixed to the mounting frame (18), the mounting arm being intended to cooperate with a mounting bracket (3) on the ladle spout (1).
