Abstract: A bucket conveyor for conveying loose grain in different directions, comprising a bucket having: an opening leading to the interior of the bucket; and a dead space constituting part of the interior at the rear, the space not filled with loose grain when grain is loaded from above to or beyond the level of the opening, its volume being larger than the filled volume immediately below the opening. The conveyor does not spill the loose grain even when the angle of the bucket is changed.

Abstract: A gate for supplying granule to and removing it from the other apparatus, Which comprises: a drive source (2); a fixed gate (6) having multiple feeder holes arranged such that granule can pass through; a movable gate (7) that is attached such that it can slide across the fixed gate (6) and is equipped with multiple openings (71) that have the same pitch as the feeder holes (61) on the fixed gate, and that allow granule to pass through when said openings (71) are aligned with said feeder holes; and a power transmission mechanism.The granule gate lowers the height of the mounds of granule that accumulate in granule weighing machines (1). It can also entirely open and close feeding holes using a short stroke. The granule weighing machine (1) can be designed thin, so that the maximum quantity of granule to be weighed nearly matches the capacity of the weighing container (3).
