  • Publication number: 20080130401
    Abstract: A dosing system for loose compressible material having heterogeneous granulometry and/or density and outputting the material though a main outlet is disclosed. The dosing system comprises a receiving structure for receiving the material to be dosed. A homogenizing system closes the receiving structure outlet and normalizes the material. A first conveying system acts as a base for the receiving structure, and transports the material towards the homogenizing system. A leveling adjustment system downstream of the homogenizing system levels the homogenized material. A second conveying system receives material from the homogenizing system and transports the material beyond the leveling adjustment system towards the main outlet. The homogenizing system, the leveling adjustment system and the second conveying system define a transition volume in which the material travels between the homogenizing system and the second conveying system. A method for dosing such a material is also disclosed.
