Measured material delivery apparatus and method

摘要: Apparatus and method for delivering a measured amount of material to receiving area includes dispensing bucket on carriage assembly that is pivoted about horizontal axis the free end vehicle-supported boom adapted scoop up from supply. The has central, restricted discharge opening with controlled movable closure further an auger gradually moves amounts out through over limited area. body which mounted so moved down relative frame position achieve greater heights above boom. suspended weighing mechanism in form hydraulic cylinder supported used selectively elevate at-rest pressure sensed by gauge marked indicate weight bucket. vehicle pick scooping action, positioned upright contained weighed, excess are dispensed until selected quantity remains. then delivered area, raised point if necessary, into
