The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for pneumatically conveying bulk material which does not flow readily, in which: bulk material is metered by means of one or more input device(s) ( 8 ) into a lateral conveyor ( 1 ); and the bulk material in the lateral conveyor is subsequently emptied via a transport line ( 19 ) wherein the metering of the bulk material into the lateral conveyor ( 1 ) is achieved by means of the input device(s) ( 8 ) and the emptying of the lateral conveyor ( 1 ) is effected with simultaneous action of a mechanical conveyor (9) in the lateral conveyor and inflowing compressed gas ( 17 ), with the mechanical conveyor ( 9 ) having a narrow clearance with respect to the lateral conveyor ( 1 ), so that the lateral conveyor is substantially emptied during the emptying process.
