The present invention is directed to an apparatus (10) and method for accurately metering and conveying a dry powder (1) or granular material to a blender (30) in a substantially closed system. The apparatus includes a storage tank (12) adapted to hold the dry powder or granular material, a hopper (24) disposed inside of the storage tank; and a conveyor (14) at least partially disposed inside of the storage tank, which delivers the dry powder or granular material to the hopper. The apparatus also includes a metering feeder adapted (26) to deliver the dry powder or granular material at a substantially uniform density from the hopper to a blender (30) located outside of the storage tank. The apparatus is a substantially closed system, thus minimizing the risk that the dry powder or granular material will become airborne.

L'invention concerne un appareil (10) et une méthode pour mesurer et transporter précisément une poudre sèche (1) ou une matière granulaire vers un mélangeur (30) dans un système sensiblement fermé. Cet appareil comprend un réservoir de stockage (12) conçu pour contenir une poudre sèche ou une matière granulaire, une trémie (24) disposée à l'intérieur du réservoir de stockage; un dispositif de transport (14) au moins partiellement disposé à l'intérieur du réservoir de stockage, et distribuant la poudre sèche ou la matière granulaire à la trémie. L'appareil de l'invention comprend également un dispositif d'alimentation de mesure conçu (26) pour distribuer la poudre sèche ou la matière granulaire à une densité sensiblement uniforme, de la trémie au mélangeur (30) situé à l'extérieur du réservoir de stockage. L'appareil de l'invention est un système sensiblement fermé, ce qui permet de réduire le risque que la poudre sèche ou que la matière granulaire ne soit en suspension dans l'air.
