Class 78 (1) Material is stirred in hopper a by stirrer v carried by rotating disc f and passes down through annular space g into chamber c where it is further stirred by arms i carried by rotating arm h (or by disc f), the material passing out of exit j into hopper k whence it is discharged by screw n to a weighing machine after being stirred by stirrer p which rotates in the opposite direction to the screw. The speeds of the stirrer p and screw n may be co-ordinated with that of the weighing machine. The screw n may be replaced by a stirrer which discharges the material.
