  • Patent number: 8317431
    Abstract: A pneumatic conveyor which includes a tubular channel (1) defining in its lower part a guidance and propulsion track (2) to transport products. The tubular channel (1) is equipped at regular intervals with a member, which provides guidance and support (6). The pressurized air conduits (4), the electrical wiring (5), and a plurality of covers can be click-locked onto the guidance and support member, which covers the corresponding edges of the tubular channel.

  • Patent number: 8033762
    Abstract: A pneumatic conveyor having upstream (1) and downstream (2) tubular transport channels which are interconnected by a switch device (3) and a support infrastructure (4). The switch device (3) takes the form of a transport and guiding device which is flexible in relation to the longitudinal axis thereof and which is a flexible blade. The flexible blade supports a device (10) for propelling products (6) to be transported, which includes individual rigid parallelepiped elements (18). One end (3?) of the flexible transport and guiding structure is fixed to the support infrastructure (4) or to an upstream (1) or downstream (2) transport case, such that the guide part thereof corresponds to that of a downstream (2) or upstream (1) transport case, while the other end (3) of the flexible transport and guiding structure is guided with possible angular displacement on the support infrastructure (4) or on an upstream (1) or downstream (2) transport case and is connected to a reciprocating displacement means (5).

  • Publication number: 20100221075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic conveyor essentially comprising a tubular channel (1), the lower part of which defines a rail for guiding and propelling (2) the products to be transported. The inventive conveyor is characterised; in that the tubular channel (1) is equipped at regular intervals with means for guiding and supporting (6) pressurised air conduits (4) and electrical wiring (5), and by covers (7) which can be click-locked onto the guide and support means (6) and which cover the corresponding edges of the tubular channel (1), with a clearance (8) being provided between said edges and the sides of the cover. The invention is particularly suitable for use in the field involving the transport of loads using pneumatic conveyers.

  • Publication number: 20090016827
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pneumatic conveyor essentially comprising upstream (1) and downstream (2) tubular transport channels which are interconnected by means of a switch device (3) and a support infrastructure (4). The inventive conveyor is characterised in that the switch device (3) takes the form of a transport and guiding means which is flexible in relation to the longitudinal axis thereof and which consists of a flexible blade. Said flexible blade supports a means (10) for propelling products or bottles (6) to be transported or conveyed, which essentially consists of individual rigid parallelepiped elements (18).
