Abstract
An arrangement of pneumatic-transporting a powdered or granular maerials such that they do not lodge, using the transport pipe smaller diameter having the bore 2-6 times as long as maximum length of the particle of the powdered or granular materials to be transported, while the powdered or granular materials are caused to float at the inlet of the transport pipe or in the vicinity of the inlet thereof by the powdered or granular materials floating apparatus with help of the collector provided on the transporting destination at the outlet of the transport pipe.
Claims29
A method for transporting powdered or granular materials by pneumatic force with a transport pipe of small diameter relative to particle size, in use for an apparatus for transporting powdered or granular materials by the pneumatic power wherein the powdered or granular materials in a storage vessel are transported through the transport pipe to a destination by the pneumatic force from a pneumatic force source, characterized in that the transport pipe of smaller diameter, having a bore 2-6 times as long as maximum length of particle of the powdered or granular materials to be transported, is used, and the powdered or granular materials, being kept to float at an inlet or in the vicinity of the inlet of transport pipe, are transported through the transport pipe.
An apparatus for transporting powdered or granular materials by pneumatic force with a transport pipe of smaller diameter relative to particle size comprising:
- a storage vessel;
- a transport pipe of smaller diameter, having a bore 2-6 times as long as maximum length of particle of powdered or granular materials to be transported, which communicates with a materials outlet of the storage vessel;
- a pneumatic force source for transporting the powdered or granular materials in the storage vessel by way of the transport pipe to a destination;
- and
- a powdered or granular materials floating means of transporting the powdered or granular materials by the pneumatic force from the transport pipe to a destination in such a manner that the powdered or granular materials do not lodge in the transport pipe, while the powdered or granular materials are kept to float at an inlet or in the vicinity of the inlet of the transport pipe.
An apparatus for transporting powdered or granular materials by pneumatic force with a transport pipe of smaller diameter relative to particle size comprising:
- a storage vessel;
- a transport pipe of smaller diameter, having a bore 2-6 times as long as maximum length of particle of the powdered or granular materials to be transported, which communicates with a material outlet of the storage vessel;
- a pneumatic power source for transporting the powdered or granular materials in the storage vessel by way of the transport pipe to a destination;
- a powdered or granular floating means of transporting the powdered or granular materials by the pneumatic power from the inside of the transport pipe to a destination in such a manner that the powdered or granular materials do not lodge in the transport pipe, while the powdered or granular materials are caused to be kept to float at an inlet or in the vicinity of the inlet of transport pipe;
- and
- a collector, provided at an outlet of the transport pipe, which collects the powdered or granular materials and transporting gas in a separate manner.
