Mine dusting machine
This patent describes a dusting machine comprising a specialized hopper or scoop bucket having a floor, generally opposite sides and generally opposite front and rear ends and adapted for carrying substantially free-flowing particulate material. The planes of the sides are substantially parallel to maximize the capacity of the hopper, powered ram means on the hopper for pushing the material toward the front end and the ram means extending substantially the full width of the hopper. Powered conveyor means mount within the hopper adjacent the front end and substantially parallel for transporting the material toward each of the opposite sides of the hopper. Separate multiple finger means mounted on the front end, at least one the flinger means being provided adjacent each of the opposite sides and adapted to receive the material transported. Each flinger means has rotatable blade means for dispersing material with considerable force in a generally arcuate pattern.
