Abstract
A conveyor for peanuts or other particulate solid has an elongated duct or conduit, an opening for charging the particles into the duct, a fan for moving air at a high velocity through the duct from upstream of the opening, a partition in the duct for creating an air jet in the duct which sweeps across the opening, and an additional partition for creating additional longitudinally spaced jets in the duct downstream of the opening.
