ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A method of feeding a flowable solid having a given angle of sliding friction between a downstream forward wall and an upstream rear wall of an outlet structure of a supply container onto a substantially horizontal conveyor below the outlet structure to form a heap of deposited solid on the conveyor under the outlet structure, comprising supplying the solid to the container in an amount sufficient to maintain in the con- tainer a height of solid above the outlet structure, moving the conveyor past the outlet structure so as to form a heap of solid on the conveyor extending downstream from the outlet structure,and adjusting the vertical distance from the lower edge of the rear and the forward walls with respect to the conveyor, adjustment of the rear wall determining the location of the rear edge of the heap upstream of the lower edge of the rear wall and adjustment of the forward wall determining the height of the heap downstream of the lower edge of the forward wall. The angle of repose of the solid and the positionsof the lower edges of the forward and rear walls being so interrelated that a forward continuation of the upstream heap defined by the rear wall lower edge extends below and downstream of the lower edge of the forward wall. The rear wall is positioned at an angle of inclination greater than the given angle of sliding friction of the solid, whereby the solid forms a bed of controlled height and advances without being wiped by the lower edge of the forward wall.
