ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for transporting granular materials is disclosed comprising a first conduit having an inlet for introducing the granular material, and transport pump for transporting the material through the first conduit. A nozzle provides a compressible fluid at a relatively high pressure for disaggregating the granular material within the first conduit, the material then proceeds from the first conduit into a second conduit. A relatively low pressure and high volume compressible fluid is supplied to the material to propel the material through the second conduit. There is also provided an adjustment means for changing the position of the nozzle within the first conduit. By adjusting the position of the nozzle, the apparatus can maintain disaggregation when the physical or chemical properties of the granular material are changed thereby preventing clogging of the apparatus due to insufficient disaggregation. By adjusting the position of the nozzle the apparatus can also achieve maximum disaggregation during normal operation, thereby minimizing the power required to operate the apparatus.
