Abstract
A dispensing apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes multiple dosing stations each having an output opening, multiple fall ducts mounted to a mounting beam of a fall duct conveyor and multiple collectors connected to a collector conveyor. Each fall duct includes a first part and an opposing second part detachably connected to the first part, the second part having multiple inlet openings that align with the output openings of the dosing stations, wherein the first and second parts define a space for solids falling from the dosing stations. The collector conveyor moves the collectors together with the fall ducts moved by the fall duct conveyor, wherein the collectors collect the solids falling from the dosing stations.
