Abstract
A method and apparatus for transferring and handling material. Material is supplied into a separator device by a conveying pipe with an air flow from a partial-vacuum generator connected to a container space of the separator device, to a transporting pipe. The material is removed from the container space via an outlet opening to a press chamber. The material is transferred and compacted by a transferring member of a pressing device to a container space of a separate material container removably connected to the pressing device. The efficiency of movement of the material from the separator device container space to the press chamber and the material container is increased by connecting a suction side of the generator to the material container space via a suction pipe and a suction opening and by supplying replacement air to the separator device container space and/or to the press chamber.
