Abstract: A spout controls grain or other particulate material falling through and being discharged from a conduit. An array of plates is mounted at the discharge end of a chute to control the flow of the particulate material there from. A counterbalance mechanism is coupled to each of the plates and can be precisely adjusted to provide the appropriate counterbalancing force on the plates to control the particulate material flow without damage to the particulate material and to minimize the dust generated in the flow of the material. A divider is mounted in the stream of material flowing to the array of plates to reduce the dust escaping the flowing material.

Abstract: A spout assembly and related method of regulating the flow of particulate material. The spout assembly includes a chute, at least first and second plates, and a counterbalance mechanism. The first and second plates are positioned downstream from the chute, the lower ends of the first and second plates defining an opening with an area that is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the chute so that the material may accumulate prior to passing through the opening. The counterbalance mechanism produces a biasing force on the first and second plates toward the centerline to adjust the area of the opening, and permits the first and second plates to move outwardly away from the centerline in response to the weight of the accumulated material. The counterbalance mechanism includes at least a first separately adjustable counterbalance coupled to the first plate and a second separately adjustable counterbalance coupled to a second plate.
