Provided is a powder supply device for a secondary battery which can always supply a fixed amount of powder with high accuracy without being influenced by a state of the powder. In addition, provided is an apparatus for manufacturing an electrode body, which includes the powder supply device and can efficiently manufacture an electrode body. The powder supply device includes a rotor which makes powder fall into an opening, and a mesh body which covers the lower end of the opening. Uneven portions or projecting portions are formed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotor. The rotor is rotatably supported in a storing portion. The gap is formed between the outer circumferential surface of the rotor and the inner surface of the storing portion so that they are spaced apart. The mesh body is arranged away from the outer circumferential surface of the rotor.

A powder conveyor has a pneumatically actuated dense phase powder pump and a pressure controller. The dense phase powder pump comprises at least one conveyor chamber having a powder inlet valve and a powder outlet valve. The pressure controller can be used to adjust and maintain a set pressure on the at least one conveyor chamber of the dense phase powder pump that is or can be previously defined and/or to adjust and maintain an actuation pressure on the powder inlet valve or the powder outlet valve that is or can be previously defined. The powder conveyor further comprises a gas flow detection device for detecting or determining a quantity of gas that is fed or removed per time unit when the set pressure is adjusted and maintained on the at least one conveyor chamber or a quantity of gas that is fed to the powder inlet valve or the powder outlet valve per time unit when the actuation pressure is adjusted and maintained. An evaluation device compares at least one detected or determined gas flow value with a corresponding set value and automatically generates an error and/or alarm signal when a deviation is detected.

The present disclosure provides equipment for riverway model manufacturing, including a framework assembly, a supply assembly, a rail driving assembly, a detection assembly, and a control device. A pipe chain conveyor is used to transport model sand into a second rail; topographic data corresponding to a riverway is input into a controller; the controller controls, according to the topographic data, a driving assembly and a supply assembly to discharge a material; meanwhile, a compaction device compacts the model sand; a detection assembly detects a height of the riverway model in real time; and after a predetermined height is achieved, manufacturing of next topography is performed. The problems that the current riverway model manufacturing has high labor cost, the model manufacturing is laborious, and the working intensity is high are solved.

A food product coating apparatus has a main conveyor, a coating-material spreading system for spreading coating material across the main conveyor, and a coating-material recirculation system for recirculating excess-coating material spilling out the discharge end of the main conveyor. The recirculation system has at least one transverse collection conveyor and at least one counter-flow return conveyor, both of which like the main conveyor made of solid web material. The coating-material spreading system comprises a first overhead sifting loader near the intake end and a spaced away second overhead sifting loader. A food-product inflow conveyor transfers an inflow of food product to the main conveyor between the first and second loaders.

Disclosed herein is a powder container for supplying coating powder to a powder coating station. The powder container includes a powder compartment for coating powder, the powder compartment being delimited by side walls, one of which is provided with an outlet port via which the powder compartment is or can be fluidically connected to an inlet of a powder deposition system. The effective flow cross-section of the fluid connection between the outlet port and the inlet of the powder deposition system can be variably adjusted.

An apparatus for spreading particulate material has a bin for holding particulate material, a rotatable disc for broadcasting the particulate material to a ground surface, a conveyor for conveying the particulate material in a particulate material path from the hopper to the rotatable disc, and a plurality of sluices situated in the particulate material path between the bin and the rotatable disc. Each sluice receives a portion of the particulate material and delivers the portion of particulate material to a radial and/or angular position on the rotatable disc. At least one of the sluices is independently moveable to adjust the radial and/or angular position on the rotatable disc to which the portion of particulate material from the at least one independently moveable sluice is delivered.
