Ball-valve dispenser with resiliently biased two-part housing

A dispensing ball-valve 10 comprises a valve body formed from a top half member 14 and a bottom half member 16, enclosing a dispensing ball 20 with a fixed volume cavity therein. The ball 20 is rotatable in the valve body about axis 58 to dispense a metered quantity of a granular solid material (figure 2, not shown). The two halves of the valve body 14, 16 define bosses 54, 56 which are provided with grooves for accommodating resilient O-rings 60, 62. The O-rings 60, 62 and bosses 54, 56 therefore form a resilient biasing means which biases the two parts of the valve body together. If a particle of the solid being dispensed becomes trapped between ball 20 and valve body 14, 16, then the O-rings 60, 62 tend to deform elastically and the two housing members 14, 16 are forced apart slightly. This prevents the ball-valve dispenser from jamming.

Device for dispensing metered quantities of bulk material

Granules metering device - with perforated disc revolving in casing with inlet and offset outlet

A volumetric metering device for granular or powdery materials, specially for additives to the mixing funnel of a plastic processing machine, uses a perforated revolving disc inside a metering casing which has on top an inlet hole for the additive from a hopper. The inlet hole has the same dia. as the disc perforation. The inlet is situated upstream of a scraper and at a small distance from the outlet from the metering casing. This prevents materials such as PVC compound mixes and soft PVC granules from being compacted in the perforations and ensures a trouble free emptying of the metered material.
