  • Publication number: 20080121743
    Abstract: An apparatus for pneumatically conveying particulate material to an application site includes a mill that is operative to reduce the particle size of the material. The mill has a specified air flow capacity. The apparatus further includes a container for the particulate material, an air lock that discharges the particulate material from the containers and a blower. The blower has a specified air flow output greater than the air flow capacity of the mill.
