The present disclosure provides an apparatus for dispensing powdered material, including container for storing powdered material. The container includes inlet for receiving powdered material and outlet for dispensing powdered material. A screw conveyor member disposed within container, which includes a first end rotatably mounted on wall of container and a second end abuttingly positioned to outlet and is operable by actuator for conveying powdered material through outlet. A scattering member, which includes at least one obstruction, is coupled to outlet, for scattering powdered material from outlet during dispensing operation. A load sensor adapted to support container for measuring weight of container. A control module adapted to control operating speed of actuator to operate screw conveyor member in a plurality of rotating modes based on weight readings received from load sensor. The apparatus prevents formation of chunks while dispensing powdered substance and thereby ensure precise dispensing of powdered material.
