Abstract
Pulverulent or other bulk material is conveyed in a continuous stream on a belt conveyor, the stream comprising a plurality of substreams of different compositions which are deposited by hoppers onto the conveyor belt. A frame straddles the conveyor belt downstream from the hoppers and carries a plurality of fixed plow assemblies which depend from the frame at locations spaced apart laterally and longitudinally of the conveyor belt, each plow assembly having a plow blade which extends into the stream of pulverulent material. The blades are variously oriented, each blade displacing the engaged portion of the stream both vertically and laterally of the conveyor belt to mix together the compositions of the substreams.
