| 摘要 |
<p>The invention provides a feeder (1) for transporting particles, comprising a container (5) for receiving particles (3), said container (5) having a discharge area; a nozzle (9) having an inlet end disposed adjacent said discharge area; and means (19) for creating relative motion between said inlet end and said discharge area. The invention also provides a method of delivery particles to a discharge nozzle (26), comprising the steps of providing a source of particles; providing a suction nozzle (9) which is in fluid communication with said discharge nozzle (26), said suction nozzle (9) having an inlet end; moving said particles (3) toward a discharge area; moving said inlet end relative to said discharge area; aspirating said particles into said suction nozzle (9); and conveying said particles (3) through a supply line (25) which fluidly connects said discharge (26) nozzle to said suction nozzle (9). <IMAGE></p> |
