Abstract
A pneumatic conveyor for particulate material of low weight per piece comprises a separator formed by a cellular rotor with a filter wall adapted to separate the particulate material as the carrying air flows to the suction side of a blower. The pressure side of said blower is in communication with a conveyor duct communicating with the separator and having a threshold forcing part of the air upwards into the rotor so as to pass the filter wall in the opposite direction, thereby blowing the filter clean before the air contributes to the further conveyance of material through the duct.
