ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing the velocity of a stream of particulate matter so as to prevent damage to the particulate matter. The present invention includes a chamber having an inlet port adapted for accepting particulate matter from a conduit, and an outlet port adapted for discharging particulate matter. The chamber consists of a curvilinear support surface with opposing ends connected to the inlet and outlet ports. The curvilinear support surface includes an ascending arcuate portion between the inlet and outlet ports. The velocity of a stream of particulate matter is reduced as it traverses the ascending arcuate portion of the curvilinear support surface.
