Abstract
A conveyor for particulate matter is provided with a channel extension movable between a use position aligned with the channel and a non-use position displaced relative to the channel. The extension includes an angled edge which cooperates with the auger flighting to shear material as it leaves the extension to break apart lumps which form in the material and provide an even flow of material from the conveyor.
