摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a tube conveyor for objects in a specified form, which includes a pushing device, together with a connector flange (1), for an object of a specified form, a conveyor tube (5), and an exit tube (18). Protrusions (6) are arranged on the inner side of the lower part of the conveyor tube (5). Further, the tube conveyor includes a circulating device (13) for pressurizing and moving a gaseous or liquid carrier agent in the area between the protrusions (6). The pressure of the carrier agent then lifts an object in a specified form, or a queue of objects off the upper surface of the protrusions (6). In addition, the carrier agent flows between the protrusions (6) and the objects in a specified form, through return connections (8) above the protrusions (6) of the conveyor tube (5), to return to the circulating device (13). In addition, shut-off valves (10), throttle valves (11), and a dirt filter (12) are connected to the circulating device (13). The invention also relates to a method for conveying compressed objects in a specified form.</p> |
