ABSTRACT:
A rotatable valve member having four ports is provided in a pneumatic conveyor system to permit the smooth docking of a carrier at a station. One port communicates through a branch duct with a main duct for the transport of carriers to the station. The remaining three ports communicate respectively with an exhauster, the docking station and atmosphere. The valve member provides communication between any two adjacent ports and during rotation controls the pressure balance on the carrier to ensure a smooth arrival at the docking station.
