Abstract
This disclosure relates to a discharge chute for granular material which is associated with an apparatus wherein the apparatus is vibrated with the vibrations also being imparted to the discharge chute. It has been found that in such instances, the capacity of the discharge chute may be greatly increased by providing more than one sloping wall while at the same time not increasing the overall height of the discharge chute. Further, when the angle of the sloping wall above the sloping bottom wall is increased, the capacity of that wall is greatly increased.
