Uniform material discharge apparatus

摘要

A material discharge apparatus including a hopper having a flow path leading to a discharge opening. The apparatus includes a pair of vibration generators tuned to move material along the flow path toward the discharge opening. The apparatus also includes a gate or bypass for adjustably controlling the rate material is discharged through the discharge opening onto a conveyor. With this construction, the gate or bypass causes any material in excess of the preselected rate of discharge of material from the discharge opening to be recirculated to the flow path.
