Abstract: A SWITCH FOR DIRECTING A STREAM OF FLUIDIZED PARTICULATE MATERIAL FROM A PIPELINE CONVEYOR PIPE EITHER THROUGH A BYPASS CONDUIT TO A CONTINUATION OF THE PIPE OR THROUGH AN ENLARGED CONDUIT TO A RECEPTACLE OR HOPPER. THE CONDUITS FORM A UNIT PIVOTED TO SWING TRANSVERSELY OF THE CONVEYOR PIPE AND SELECTIVELY ALIGN AND CONNECT EITHER THE BYPASS CONDUIT INLET OR THE ENLARGED CONDUIT INLET WITH THE CONVEYOR PIPE. THE ENLARGED CONDUIT FORMS AN EXPANSION CHAMBER HAVING STREAM TURNING BAFFLES DIRECTING THE STREAM THROUGH THE CHAMBER TO AN OUTLET IN THE BOTTOM.

THE OUTLET CARRIES AN O RING SEAL MEMBER WHICH IS FORCED INTO SEALING RELATION AROUND A DISCHARGE PASSAGEWAY IN A PLATE, FORMING THE UPPER PORTION OF A HOPPER, BY THE SWINGING MOVEMENT OF THE SWITCH AND SEALS THE JOINT BETWEEN THE CHAMBER OUTLET AND THE PLATE. THE PIVOT IS POSITIONED AT ONE SIDE OF THE SWITCH MEMBER CENTER OF GRAVITY SO THAT THE WEIGHT OF THE SWITCH MEMBER WILL ASSIST IN THE SEALING. THE SEAL MECHANISM FOR THE BYPASS OUTLET IS USED TO RESIST THE END THRUST ON THE SWITCH.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system for fluidizing and transporting particulate material. The particulate material is fed into a fluidizing container from a hopper through two independently operated, serially arranged valves. The valves are controlled such that the closest valve to the container is opened first and closed last, after a charge has been delivered to the container to prevent flow of pressurized air through the hopper. Special blending nozzles are disclosed for an optional blending operation during the fluidizing and transporting process, particularly of certain materials. The outlet conduit from the container has an isolating valve, upstream from a fluid conveyor means, to permit the container to be filled with a new charge while the previous charge is being transported to its destination. Special control means are provided to operate the valves in proper timed sequence to minimize the time cycle for each charge.

Abstract translation: 本公开涉及一种用于流化和输送颗粒材料的系统。 颗粒材料通过两个独立操作的串联排列的阀从料斗进料到流化容器中。 这些阀被控制成使得最初的容器阀门首先被打开，并且在充电被输送到容器之后最后关闭，以防止加压空气通过料斗的流动。 公开了特殊混合喷嘴，用于在流化和输送过程中，特别是某些材料中的任选的混合操作。 来自容器的出口管道具有在流体输送装置上游的隔离阀，以允许容器在先前的费用被运送到其目的地时被填充新的费用。 提供特殊控制装置以适当的定时顺序操作阀门，以最小化每次充电的时间周期。
