Flow director system

A flow director system for transporting ice to desired locales, comprising:

• a conduit system, the conduit system defining a first desired path for transporting ice and a second desired path for transporting ice;
• an ice container for delivering ice into the conduit system, the ice container including a first interface aperture communicating with the first desired path and a second interface aperture communicating with the second desired path;
• and
• a gas flow gate assembly coupled with the conduit system for directing ice along either the first desired path or the second desired path.

A method for directing ice along a designated path defined by a conduit system, comprising the steps of:

• positioning a plurality of flow gates along the conduit system;
• coupling a vacuum pump with the conduit system;
• linking a flow gate controller linked to the plurality of flow gates;
• opening and closing the flow gates with the flow gate controller, thereby creating the designated path for directing ice along the conduit system;
• and
• applying via the vacuum pump a negative pump pressure to the conduit system thereby drawing ice along the designated path.

A method for transporting ice to desired locales, comprising the steps of:

• forming a flow director system, the flow director system, comprising:
• a conduit system defining a first desired path for transporting ice and a second desired path for transporting ice,
• an ice container for delivering ice into the conduit system, the ice container including a first interface aperture communicating with the first desired path and a second interface aperture communicating with the second desired path, and
• a gas flow gate assembly coupled with the conduit system;
• and controlling the gas flow gate assembly to direct ice along either the first desired path or the second desired path.
