Abstract
A component of a transport line for pneumatically conveying bulk materials generally including a first conduit having an open end, a second conduit connected to the first conduit at an angle relative thereto having the interior thereof communicating with the interior of the first conduit to provide a material flow passageway therethrough and a cap member detachably mounted on the first conduit, closing the open end thereof.
Claims19
A component of a transport line for pneumatically conveying bulk materials, comprising:
- a first conduit having an open end;
- a second conduit, connected to said first conduit at an angle relative thereto having the interior thereof communicating with the interior of said first conduit to provide a material flow passageway therethrough;
- and
- a readily removable cap member detachably mounted on said first conduit, closing said open end thereof,
- wherein said open end of said first conduit is disposed in alignment with a length of the interior of said first conduit to provide ready access to said interior upon removal of said cap member to facilitate the removal of material settling therein, and said cap member includes a section extendable into said first conduit when said cap member is mounted on said first conduit, having a peripheral side wall formed of an impermeable material and an end wall formed of a permeable material and an inlet for injecting a fluidizing gas into said extendable section.
A closure member for an open end of a first conduit forming a component of a transport line for pneumatically conveying a bulk material, having a second conduit connected thereto at an angle and the interior thereof communicating with the interior of said first conduit to provide a material flow passageway therethrough, comprising:
- a cap member detachably mountable on said first mentioned conduit in closing relation relative to said open end thereof, including a section extendable into said first mentioned conduit when said cap member is mounted on said first conduit, having a peripheral side wall formed of an impermeable material and an end wall formed of a permeable material, and an inlet for injecting a fluidizing gas into said extendable section.
