Abstract
A pneumatic device for unloading cargoes of particulate materials from ships' holds is described in which inside a length of pipe, which sucks the material out of the hold and is principally in the horizontal position, there is at least one fluidizing base which transports the material further and into a silo. The fluidizing or transporting base can be selected to match the requirements for efficient transportation of different kinds of particulate material.
