Abstract

A particulate loader for transferring particulates. The particulate loader comprises an air-particulates separating chamber for separating the particulates from an air stream caused by suction provided thereto. A suction mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for providing the suction thereto by removing air from the air-particulates separating chamber and exhausting the air. A conveying mechanism is connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for conveying the separated particulates from the air-particulates separating chamber to a remote location. The cyclone has an inlet connected to an exhaust outlet of the suction mechanism, an air outlet for discharging the air after separating the dust therefrom, and a dust outlet for discharging the collected dust.

Dependent claims

A particulate loader for transferring particulates comprising:

an air-particulates separating chamber for separating particulates from an air stream, the air-particulates separating chamber having an inlet conduit;
a suction mechanism connected to the air-particulates separating chamber for providing a suction thereto for removing air and dust from the air-particulates separating chamber via an exhaust outlet;
a conveying mechanism for conveying the separated particulates from the air-particulates separating chamber to a remote location;
and
a cyclone for separating and collecting the dust from the air exhausted by the suction mechanism, the cyclone having a cyclone inlet connected to the exhaust outlet of the suction mechanism, an air outlet for discharging the air after separating the dust therefrom, and a dust outlet for discharging the dust separated from the air.
