Abstract: The present application describes a material dosing system. The material dosing system may include a material source and a dosing block. The dosing block may include a first aperture positioned on a first side and a second aperture positioned on a second side. The dosing block further may include a sliding plate positioned between the first side and the second side and having a dosing aperture movable between the first aperture and the second aperture. A coupling may connect the material source and the first aperture of the dosing block.

Abstract: A flight lug is provided for releasable attachment to a conveyor belt. The lug comprises a base and first and second side walls mounted to opposite edge surfaces of the base such that the base extends between and interconnects the side walls intermediate upper and lower ends of the side walls. Flanges extend inwardly from adjacent the lower ends of the side walls. Each flange defines a slot between the flange and the lower surface of the base for receiving an edge of the belt. The first side wall is pivotally attached to the base for movement relative to the base between a first position where the flange on the lower end of the first side wall is spaced a first distance from the flange on the lower end of the second side wall for allowing the belt to fit between the flanges, and a second position where the flanges on the side walls are spaced apart a second distance which is less than the width of the belt for capturing the belt in the slots between the side walls.
