Abstract: An apparatus for discharging powder and/or pellets from a hopper defining an outlet adjacent the base thereof. The apparatus includes a baffle associated with the outlet to control the rate of flow of said powder and/or pellets and a chute located under the baffle to receive the powder and/or pellets. The powder and/or pellets is discharged through an outlet from the chute. The baffle is vibrated substantially horizontally due to the dampening forces of the powder and/or pellets supported by the baffle.
