Abstract:
A meter module (200A, 200B, 200) for metering a product in communication with the meter module (200A, 200B, 200). The meter module (200A, 200B, 200) includes a meter housing portion (203) and a lower chamber portion (205), the meter housing portion (203) having a top opening (204) through which the product enters the meter housing portion (203). A metering mechanism is disposed in the meter housing portion (203) and is driven by an electric motor (216). As the metering mechanism is driven, the metering mechanism meters the product into the lower chamber portion (205), the metered product exits the lower chamber portion (205) through a bottom opening (158, 208) in the lower chamber portion (205). The lower chamber portion (205) may include a flow sensor and/or internal structure (260) to capture and weigh the metered product before exiting through the bottom opening (158, 208).
