METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING THE DENSITY DISTRIBUTION OF BULK MATERIAL A method for controlling the density distribution of bulk material in the manufacture of pressed wood panels includes the step of eliminating the irregularities in the bulk material stream as it flows to the forming station. Apparatus for accomplishing this result includes a pair of spaced apart parallel rollers that define an adjustable slotted opening through which the material passes. Rotation and oscillation of the rollers function to render uniform the density distribution of the bulk material stream.
