  • Patent number: 4491442
    Abstract: Method and device for pneumatic feeding of materials to be conveyed along a feeding line (10) supplied continually with conveying gas from conveying gas lines (18) discharging into the feeding line and spaced consecutively apart from each other. Each gas line (18) has at a distance from its opening (28) a short cross-sectional constriction (20), in the area of which the velocity of the conveying gas is increased to the velocity of sound and decreased again before the opening (28). A plurality of gas lines (18) are fed from a common supply line (16, 17) which runs adjacent to the feeding line (10). The gas lines (18) open into the feeding line (10) at an acute angle of approx. 35.degree. and have two sections (21, 23) detachably connected with each other by a sealing screw connection (24), an apertured diaphragm, forming the cross-sectional constriction (20), and a filter (22) being held interchangeably by the screw connection.
