Abstract: Disclosed is apparatus for automatically lining a vessel. With a template inside the vessel, pouring and ramming stations are disposed within the annular space defined by the template and vessel for rotation about the central axis of the vessel. The ramming stations include rams movable in a radially inward direction to compact the lining material at the bottom of the vessel and movable outwardly to compact the material forming the side walls of the vessel.

Abstract: A feeder-dispenser for conveying measured amounts of bulk materials, in particular for mortar and concrete, in which a rotor is mounted on a driving shaft, and placed between a pair of stationary cover discs. The rotor is formed of a plurality of chambers regularly distributed about its periphery and open at each end. The chambers are covered on their internal surfaces with an elastic material lining. The top disc has a feed orifice and an air supply opening angularly offset from it. The bottom disc is provided opposite the air supply opening with a discharge orifice. Air under compression ejects the material from the chamber and cooperates with the elastic lining to prevent retention and deposition of material in the chamber.
