METHOD FOR CONTINUOUS MOVEMENT OF CONTAINERS IN CONTAINER PNEUMATIC CONVEYING SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B65G51/04 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: method for continuous movement of containers in container pneumatic conveying system includes container continuous movement in transport pipeline by the main air flow, container braking by means of discharging used air flow behind containers and directing this air flow via bypass pipeline to boost pipeline section, container unloading with changing direction of their rotation using screw-shaped follower. The main air flow is converted into ring flow along perimeter of transport pipeline cross-section. When passed through ring slot nozzle the main air flow draws in air from bypass pipeline and moves containers in transport pipeline together with used air. Speed of container movement when they are continuously unloaded while changing direction of their rotation is determined by mathematics.

EFFECT: higher capacity of container pneumatic conveying system, less amount of used compressed air.
