Abstract

A device for metered removal of flowable solid material comprises at least one delivery opening for the flowable solid material and an essentially horizontal intermediate storage floor for receiving the flowable solid material, arranged below said delivery opening. A collecting space for the flowable solid material is defined between the intermediate storage floor and the delivery opening. A lateral opening is positioned in the intermediate storage floor adjacent to the delivery opening. At least one removal rake with at least one blade is inserted into the collecting space and movable relative to the intermediate storage floor transverse to a delivery direction of the delivery opening for pushing the flowable solid material collected under the delivery opening into the lateral opening. A pivoting parallelogram-shaped rod arrangement with upper pivoting axes that are arranged in a common horizontal plane is provided for pivotably supporting the removal rake.
