A fluent material dispensing apparatus for filing containers with fluent material comprising a hopper for receiving and holding fluent material, the hopper's having a safety grid attached thereto and the hopper converging downwardly towards the hopper's bottom, wherein multiple discharge openings are located at the hopper's bottom, the top end of the discharge openings, a support frame for supporting the hopper, the support frame comprising base members and a plurality of vertical legs extending between the hopper and the base members, a foot-operated swing gate pivotally mounted to each discharge chute, the swing gates being individually movable from a closed position over the bottom of the discharge chutes to an open position to control the discharge of fluent material from the hopper, a foot-operated swing gate actuating mechanism for selectively moving the swing gate between and open and a closed position, a rotatable auger mounted transversely in the hopper for moving fluent material over the discharge openings, a rotatable agitator also mounted transversely in the hopper to insure a steady flow of material to the auger and a power system for rotating the auger and agitator to move the fluent material over the discharge openings and to unblock any clogged discharge opening.

The multi bagging machine comprises: a framework including four, spaced apart upright legs arranged in a generally rectangular configuration; a generally rectangular hopper mounted to an upper end of the framework; the hopper including a sharply inclined front wall and a lesser inclined back wall extending between two end walls; an auger located adjacent the bottom of the hopper and having an auger shaft extending between the end walls; an agitator including an agitator shaft located above the auger and a short distance toward the rear of the hopper; a plurality of discharge chutes connected to the bottom of the hopper for discharging fluent particulate material from the hopper into a container or bag; and a slide gate movable from a rear wall of each discharge chute into and across the discharge chute to a front wall of each discharge chute and back for blocking and unblocking the flow of fluent particular material through the discharge chute into a bag or container. Preferably, the slide gates are located as high as possible, the discharge chutes are located as far forward as possible, the auger shaft is driven at a faster speed than the agitator shaft, the agitator blades are skew to the agitator shaft and are parallel to each other and the agitator shaft is located such that the outer point of rotation of each agitator blade is the same distance from the front wall and as i is from the rear wall.
