Abstract
A method for the continous transfer of pourable solids such as granular solids by means of a liquid of lesser density is disclosed. The solid is mixed with and carried by the liquid through an inlet and a rotary zone. The rate of flow of the solids into the rotary zone is controlled by the selective withdrawal of liquid from the rotary zone. The rotary zone comprises rotating volumes that carry the solids and liquid to an outlet in the rotary zone. An additional liquid is injected adjacent the outlet so that the solids are emptied from the volumes into the outlet. An apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention is also disclosed.
