SLURRY TRANSPORT APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

Apparatus and method for transporting a slurry including a first conduit having an inlet for introducing slurry and apparatus for transporting the same through the first conduit. A first air supply provides air at a relatively high pressure for disaggregating the slurry and a second air supply provides air at a relatively low pressure and high volume for propelling the slurry through a second conduit. An auger having a central bore may be used both as a transport apparatus and as a means for conducting the high pressure air for impingement upon the slurry.
