Abstract

A bulk material dosing or feeder device has at least one upright post mounted to a base and carrying a horizontal head section. A supply hopper is supported by the head section. Modular units such as a stirrer, a weigher or feeder or the like are vertically aligned, vertically below the hopper. At least one, preferably each modular unit is mounted on a respective swivel arm. The swivel arm is journalled to the upright post whereby the modular unit may be tilted into an operative position below the hopper or into an out position for easy access to and exchange of the modular units.
