ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for improved in-car slurrying of dry bulk powder in hopper cars is disclosed. The individual hopper car compartments have ports in the bottom therein for admitting air under pressure and water to form the slurry. The apparatus of this invention includes an open mesh disposed across the upper portion of the hopper car at about the level of the dry material. When air and water are pumped into the bottom of the hopper car compartment, the pumping action causes the dry material to impact the mesh whereby clumps thereof break up and become wetted. Air passes upwardly through the mesh then but clumps of unwetted powder do not. A central port is provided in the mesh for filling the compartment with dry bulk powder.
