Yes, a "method of minimising wastage during dispensing of a granulated substance" or somesuch probably would cover the design of any crucial subcomponents used in the process. It just has to be expressed in the right way; you're not patenting the design per se, you're patenting the invention. (It's probably more subtle and can be better expressed than I've put it.)
