Abstract
A batch controller for automatically and selectively controlling a plurality of material dispensers. The controller includes circuitry for metering, for slowing, and for terminating the flow of material in and at selectable quantity levels thereof. The apparatus includes a starting circuit that renders the apparatus inoperative in response to the absence or interruption of operating potential, and flow of the material is controlled by devices that provide fail-safe termination of flow in the event of failure.
