Abstract
Apparatus for dispensing a blended composition of particulate ingredients, comprising a bin section, a cone section, and an outlet section. The bin section holds a supply of the composition, and the cone section includes inner and outer cones for conducting downward, respectively, first and second portions of the composition discharged from the bin section. The outlet section is located below the cone section to receive those first and second portions of composition from the cone section; and the outlet section includes a conical plug extending below the inner cone to retard the flow of the first portion of the composition through the inner cone, and to mix the first portion of the composition with the second portion thereof.
