ABSTRACT:
A particulate filling system for assisting in filling a container from a hopper containing a supply of particulate material is provided. The particulate filling system includes a conduit operably connected to the hopper and extending downwardly therefrom. The conduit is adapted to permit a flow of particulate material therewithin. A vacuum valve assembly surrounds a porous tube portion of the conduit and supplies a vacuum to the particulate material in the conduit which stops the flow of the particulate material between filling operations. The particulate filling system also includes a nozzle assembly operably connected to the conduit below the porous tube portion and extending downwardly therefrom. The nozzle assembly defines an inlet thereof for receiving particulate material from the conduit and defines an outlet thereof for dispensing particulate material from the nozzle assembly to the container. A conveyor within the conduit assists in providing the flow of particulate material from the hopper to the container.
