Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0459475A1] A device for dosing granulated material from a container, having a funnel (1), provided in the connection to an opening in the container bottom, at least one scraper (2), arranged in said funnel circulating along its inside surface, and a slide (3) for opening, regulating and closing the orifice of a hollow-cylindrical outlet (4) adjoining the tapered lower end of the funnel. In order, on the one hand, to avoid erosion, damage and destruction of the granules by the scraper (2) and, on the other hand, to prevent sticking of said granules and contamination thereof by pollutant substances, for example motor oil, according to the invention a likewise funnel-shaped film (8) is arranged between the opening in the container bottom and the hollow-cylindrical outlet (4) within an imaginary conical surface to be scraped by the scraper (2). <IMAGE>
