ABSTRACT:
A pneumatic conveyor having upstream (1) and downstream (2) tubular transport channels which are interconnected by a switch device (3) and a support infrastructure (4). The switch device (3) takes the form of a transport and guiding device which is flexible in relation to the longitudinal axis thereof and which is a flexible blade. The flexible blade supports a device (10) for propelling products (6) to be transported, which includes individual rigid parallelepiped elements (18). One end (3′) of the flexible transport and guiding structure is fixed to the support infrastructure (4) or to an upstream (1) or downstream (2) transport case, such that the guide part thereof corresponds to that of a downstream (2) or upstream (1) transport case, while the other end (3) of the flexible transport and guiding structure is guided with possible angular displacement on the support infrastructure (4) or on an upstream (1) or downstream (2) transport case and is connected to a reciprocating displacement means (5). The pneumatic conveyor is used the transport of loads typically using overhead pneumatic conveyors.
