ARRANGEMENT FOR PNEUMATIC PIPING OF CARGOES IN CONTAINERS
摘要
<p>An arrangement wherein provided in a pipeline connecting loading and unloading terminals and communicating with the main source of a compressed gas flow are two sluice gates spaced somewhat apart as well as branch pipes with valves for gas discharge. Each of said branch pipes is arranged upstream of a corresponding sluice gate and close to it in the direction of containers travel. Connected behind and close to either of the gates in the direction of the containers travel are branch pipes with valves, communicating the pipeline with an intermediate compressed gas source. The gas discharge branch pipe arranged in a pipeline portion upstream of the other sluice gate is connected by its opposite end to a branch pipe communicating said portion with an intermediate compressed gas flow source upstream of its valve, as a result of which the container travels through said portion continuously.</p>
