A precision measurement dispenser provides for storage of a granular bulk material in a storage container that is preferably airtight. The granular material is held in a storage container which feeds a dispensing section that is preferably positioned within the storage container. The dispensing section selectively dispenses the ingredient by gravity to a weighting tray of a scale. The ingredient is dispensed by weight. The storage dispensing unit may also include a display and keypad for entry of a desired quantity of ingredient to be dispensed, and optionally which of plural ingredients to be dispensed. A controller can convert a requested volumetric measure to an equivalent weight measure, and dispense by weight in place of volume. The storage dispensing unit further optionally includes pressure control, temperature control, and/or humidity control on the storage container. The dispensing section uses screw, roll, vibration, or shuttle mechanisms for precise dispensing of material.

A unit (1) for dosing a confectionery mass includes a base body (2), a dosing chamber (26) for containing a confectionery mass and a rotary piston (3) being reversingly driven to alternatingly fill the dosing chamber (26) with confectionery mass and to remove confectionery mass from the dosing chamber (26). The rotary piston (3) has a filling cycle for filling the dosing chamber (26) with confectionery mass during which it is rotatingly driven in a first direction of rotation (28). The rotary piston (3) has a removing cycle for removing the confectionery mass from the dosing chamber (26) during which it is rotatingly driven in a second direction of rotation (29) being opposite to the first direction of rotation (28). The filling cycle and the removing cycle form one complete working cycle.

A metering apparatus may be configured to control flow of material from a reservoir to control the amount of material applied, dispensed, and/or spread to a field while a vehicle traverses the field. The metering apparatus may include an auger portion located in an elevator channel to control the flow of material out of a reservoir opening of the reservoir.

A dispenser (a) applicable to cap of a container (b) for granular and/or powdered products. The present dispenser (a) comprises a cylindrical body chute (10) with the required capacity, which is mounted with the possibility of relative rotation, on a virtual longitudinal (11) axis, in a cradle (2) formed on the wall of a lateral recess of the cap (b) of the container (c), being said chute provided with a projecting peripheral flap (14) acting as a manually operated turning means. The wall of the cradle (2) has an opening (3) facing the interior of the container (c) and the chute (10) has first and second openings (12-13) angularly separated. Chute (10) can run between a product loading position, with the first opening (12) facing the opening (3) of the cradle and the second opening (13) closed by the wall of the cradle, and a product discharge position, with the first opening (12) closed by the wall of the cradle (2) and the second opening (13) facing the outside of the cap.

A materials containment canister comprising an optional lower cap with an upper thread, a body with multiple interior chambers and an upper cap with a lid, optional handle and orifice. The upper cap is capable of rotating to allow for the orifice to access individual chambers which can store materials.

The present disclosures provides a dispensing device, comprising: a feeder portion configured to couple with a reservoir portion storing a material to be dispensed and to receive the material from the reservoir portion; a first rotatable gate disposed at an end of the feeder portion opposite the reservoir portion; an adjustable-volume measuring chamber disposed at an outlet side of the first rotatable gate; and a second rotatable gate disposed at an end of the adjustable-volume measuring chamber opposite the first rotatable gate. Each of the first and second rotatable gates are rotatable between open and closed position to permit or prevent the flow of material to be dispensed. The configuration of two rotatable gates ensure that only a desired amount/volume of the material to be dispensed can enter the adjustable-volume measuring chamber and be subsequently dispensed. A method of operating the dispensing device is also disclosed.
