Abstract
Apparatus for distribution of particulate matter in a tank or similar enclosure, comprising a feed hopper, a discharge conduit integral with the hopper, a motor-driven rotating shaft disposed axially of the outlet opening of the conduit, and downstream of said outlet opening is at least one fairly soft deflecting means carried on the shaft and articulated thereto so as to diverge angularly by the effect of the centrifugal force when driven in rotation. The apparatus is for use particularly in charging a chemical reactor with catalyst particles and in the storage of grains in silos.
