Abstract: A vibratory distributor system for supplying bulk material, such as potato chips, cereal or the like, to a number of use points on demand. The system comprises a plurality of successive modules arranged to nest with one another to provide a flow path from one module to the next. Each module includes a material-carrying tray and a gate, associated with each use point, each gate having a selectively operable closure member which controls gravity feed of the material to the use point. A sensor for each module monitors the material level at the location of each gate and, when the level drops to a threshold level, activates the vibrating means of the adjacent upstream module to cause material to flow. The upstream modules are thus progressively vibrated in accordance with the demand to convey material from a source of supply downstream to the various use points.
