ABSTRACT:
A system (method and apparatus) for combined vehicular transport and pneumatic conveyance of lightweight subdivided materials. The system generally operates to convey a supply of subdivided material (e.g., cushioning and packaging material) from a source of supply of such material to a point in a particular customer operation (e.g., packaging of products). The system is particularly adapted to truck transport wherein a flexible air blanket on the bottom of the truck functions to pneumatically convey subdivided material from within to the rear of the truck, from which point it is pneumatically conveyed to an in-plant conveyance system. The system additionally employs cooperating pneumatic conveying means within the plant to receive the subdivided materials from the truck and to rapidly deliver the same to bulk storage containers, from which it can be selectively and rapidly conveyed to preselected individual distribution outlets. The system is specifically characterized by a progressive discharge of subdivided material from the truck body through substantially unidirectional operation of the air blanket, and by a related unidirectional discharge of the bulk storage containers within the plant, thus facilitating rapid and efficient unloading of light weight subdivided materials from bulk transport to in-plant distribution operations.
