Abstract
A method for conveying material, advantageously food-industry bulk material, especially cutting offals or food waste, by means of a pressure difference in a conveying pipe (4). In the method, material is fed to the conveying pipe (4), and further in the conveying pipe to a separator device (5) in which the transferred material is separated from conveying air. In the method, to the conveying pipe (4) is achieved underpressure with an ejector apparatus (6) the suction side of which is connected to the separator device (5), which ejector apparatus is operated with an actuating medium. As the actuating medium of the ejector apparatus (6) is utilised liquid mist, especially aqueous liquid mist.

A method for conveying material, advantageously food-industry bulk material, especially cutting offals or food waste, by means of a pressure difference in a conveying pipe (4), in which method the material is fed to a conveying pipe (4), and further in the conveying pipe to a separator device (5) in which the transferred material is separated from conveying air, in which method underpressure is achieved to the conveying pipe (4) with an ejector apparatus (6) the suction side of which is combined with the separator device (5), which ejector apparatus is operated with an actuating medium, characterised in that liquid mist, especially aqueous liquid mist is utilised as the actuating medium of the ejector apparatus (6).
An apparatus for conveying material, advantageously food-industry bulk material, especially cutting offals and food waste, by means of a pressure difference in a conveying pipe (4), which apparatus comprises a conveying pipe (4) for the material, a separator device (5), and a means for achieving underpressure to the conveying pipe (4) with an ejector apparatus (6) the suction side of which is connected to the separator device (5), which ejector apparatus is operated with an actuating medium, characterised in that the ejector apparatus (6) comprises at least onenozzle (121, 122) for spraying liquid mist and utilising as the actuating medium of the ejector and a means (125, 126, 127, 131) for feeding the liquid for the nozzle.
