A feeder of bulk materials comprising:

a conveyor;
a batcher having a case separated into at least three sections positioned above the conveyor;
a band encompassed within each said section serving to transfer bulk material;
shafts positioned in said sections for driving said bands;
drive means for driving a shaft of one of said bands in one of said sections in a first direction and for driving shafts of bands in others of said sections in a direction opposite said first direction, with said section using said band moving in said first direction being arranged between said sections using said bands moving in the opposite direction of movement, said drive means including a common drive for all shafts of bands moving in the same direction of movement, said common drives having output shafts coupled with shafts of said sections through clutches serving for coupling and uncoupling of said drives and said shafts;
receiver tube means adapted for receiving bulk material disposed in a top part of said case of said batcher and for supplying the received bulk material to said sections;
and outlet tube means located in a bottom part of said case of said batcher above said conveyor so that bulk material is supplied from said batcher through said outlet tube means to said conveyor.
