Abstract

The invention relates to a device for filling with loose material carriers provided on their top with cavities, comprising: a transporting member for transporting the carriers; a scraper member arranged above the transporting member and drivable in rotation round a vertical shaft, which scraper member is arranged at a distance from the conveyor belt substantially corresponding with the height of the carriers for filling; and a ring enclosing the path described by the scraper member, wherein on the downstream located side of the ring means are arranged for removing excess loose material from the carriers; wherein on the upstream located side of the ring means are arranged for feeding loose material to the carriers; and wherein transporting means are arranged for transporting loose material coming from the first means to the second means. The first and second means and the transporting means are preferably formed by a second scraper element adapted to follow a path located outside the first ring, which path is closed off on the outside by a second ring and partly closed off on the underside by a bottom, wherein the second scraper element is rotatably drivable.
