Abstract
Apparatus for dividing freeflowing particulate matter into aliquots of closely equal weight comprises a weighing receiver and a volumetric dividing receiver. The weighing receiver receives freeflowing particulate matter and includes a weigher for determining when a predetermined weight of the matter has been received therein and a discharger for then discharging the predetermined weight of received matter. The volumetric dividing receiver receives the matter discharged from the weighing receiver and includes a plurality of aliquot receivers of identical effective volumetric capacity, a distributor for distributing on a volumetric basis the matter received by the dividing receiver into the aliquot receivers, and structure for discharging the matter from the aliquot receivers.
