Abstract: A bulk material dispensing system including a dispensing apparatus suspended from a fixed surface that is configured to receive bulk material from a tank. A metering device feeds the bulk material from the tank to the dispensing apparatus, and a weigh scale is located between the dispensing apparatus and the fixed surface. A controller is in communication with each of the weigh scale and the metering device such that, based on a signal received from the weigh scale that is indicative of the amount of the bulk material that has been fed to the dispensing apparatus by the metering device, the controller controls a rate at which the metering device feeds the bulk material to the dispensing apparatus to ensure that an accurate amount of the bulk material is received by the dispensing apparatus.
