  • Patent number: 6394708
    Abstract: A receiver for a pneumatic conveyor for receiving and discharging particulate matter includes an upstanding receptacle having an inlet port and a gravity feed discharge opening. A flow control valve at the discharge opening controls discharge flow of particulate matter from the upstanding receptacle. The flow control valve includes a tapered valve seat circumscribing the discharge opening and a tapered plug selectively engageable with the valve seat from below to selectively occlude the discharge opening. The plug is connected to a stem mounted within the upstanding receptacle to permit reciprocal motion of the stem and plug substantially parallel to the discharge flow of particulate matter. An actuator reciprocates the stem selectively. In a first position the plug engages the valve seat, occluding the discharge opening and forming a substantially air tight seal, and in a second position the plug is displaced from the valve seat, permitting discharge of particulate matter.
