Abstract
The present invention generally relates to a device that allows for dispensing of products from one or more hoppers. The system utilizes a hopper or hoppers to hold product. An impeller is enclosed within an outlet chute of the hopper. A sensor monitors the area surrounding the port of the outlet chute and, when a receptacle is sensed, the sensor transmits a signal to a controller that in turn controls the operation of a motor to move the impeller and dispense product.
