metering powders

metering powders

(OP)
I'm starting a new project;

I'm in the investigation stage, and I'm looking for the best way to meter/measure/dispense powders.

I don't know much yet because my customer does not know much.  I'm sure some replies to this post are going to include the many questions about who, what, when, where, why......

If you have had experience dispensing or metering powder, please reply with what you think may help me.

What I want is an auger at the bottom of a tote.
Food grade
I don't know what the powder is yet, what the properties are, what the rates are.

It might be like tang or it might be like ovaltine or it might be like talc....

This is the question, if you can't answer it...thanks for reading anyway:

I'm only looking for a starting point so does anyone know a good way to meter powders?
