Abstract

A powder dispenser generally includes a reservoir adapted to contain a powder, a rotor disposed within the reservoir, a plate, and an engagement member. The rotor is configured to rotate about an axis and engage the powder within the reservoir. The plate is positioned below the rotor and defines a slot configured to receive the powder as the rotor rotates about the axis. The plate is arranged to rotate relative about the axis. The engagement member is aligned with at least one opening and is configured to extend into the slot defined in the plate. The engagement member is configured to direct a volume of the powder from the slot into the at least one opening as the plate rotates. The volume of the powder is dispensed through the opening as the plate rotates.
