    Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart granular raw material conveyance system and a smart granular raw material conveyance method, wherein, when granular materials in powder form are conveyed along a conveyance line, the precisely metered granular materials are smoothly passed through a vertical pipe vertically installed in the conveyance line, and the granular materials are prevented from remaining or stagnating in the vertical pipe. The smart granular raw material conveyance system comprises at least one of: a first conveyance unit that conveys the granular materials in an amount corresponding to a first conveyance amount; a second conveyance unit that is spaced apart from the first conveyance unit and conveys the granular materials in an amount corresponding to a second conveyance amount equal to or different from the first amount; or a third conveyance unit that is spaced apart from the first conveyance unit and the second conveyance unit, and conveys the granular materials in an amount corresponding to a third conveyance amount equal to or less than the first amount or the second amount.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for transferring fuel pellets from one container which may be at a location external to a building to a second container which may be at a location in an interior of the building. The system may include a first container positioned at a location remote from the building and a second container positioned proximate to the building. The first and second containers are connected to one another to permit the transfer of fuel pellets from the first container to the second container by a pneumatic apparatus.

    Abstract: A system for transporting hazardous particles includes a pneumatic conveyer for conveying the hazardous particles to an exit using a carrier gas; and an input mechanism for conveying the hazardous particles to the pneumatic conveyer. The input mechanism includes a tubular chamber for receiving the hazardous particles; an input pipe extending from the tubular chamber for conveying the hazardous particles into the tubular chamber; and an output pipe extending from a bottom of the tubular chamber. The output pipe includes an upper valve movable between a closed position and an open position, a middle valve movable between a closed position and an open position, and a lower valve. The upper valve and the middle valve, when in their respective closed positions, define a storage chamber for storing a portion of the hazardous particles. The upper valve in its open position allows the portion of the hazardous particles to enter the storage chamber, and the middle valve in its open position allows the portion of the hazardous particles in the storage chamber to flow to the lower valve. The lower valve is configured to convey the hazardous particles from the storage chamber to the pneumatic conveyer in a gradual fashion.

    Abstract: A dry granular material transfer system and method for transfer of granular material such as sand in a dry state through a hose using pressurized air. On a base platform, a conveyor subsystem moves granular material placed on a lower portion to a higher portion while separating clumped material and allowing rocks and debris to fall away, spreading the granular material in a thin layer for ejection at the highest level. A containment subsystem receives granular material and contains the downward fall of material. A portioning subsystem has a turntable with blow-through chambers which receive granular material and move into line with an air inflow tube and air-material outflow tube, and the air-material mixture is blown through the air-material outflow tube and through a transfer hose.

    Abstract: A fastening system having a supporting strip, to which is fastened, outside the housing of the rotary feeder, a seal designed to seal the blade of the rotor in relation to the housing. The mounted unit of supporting strip and seal is inserted into a groove devised in the blade. This installation unit is then secured to the blade by means of securing screws. The seal can be made from a hard seal, especially steel, or a soft seal, especially rubberized textile, attached on the outside by a locating strip.
