Abstract
Feed apparatus and method for feeding objects such as ore rocks in such a way that they are arranged into at least one moving stream of spaced apart objects. The objects are fed onto a first conveyor belt which may have longitudinal channels to arrange the objects into moving rows. The moving objects are projected from end of the belt in free flight path and caught on downwardly moving section of a second belt which passes to a horizontal run via a concavely curved belt section so that objects are stabilized on the second belt by centrifugal action to emerge on horizontal run as one or more fast moving streams.
