Abstract
Apparatus for transporting material separated from a flowing fluid from one location to another is disclosed. The apparatus mounts a cyclone separator on one end of an elongated container with the separator including a body having an inlet passage, a fluid outlet passage and a separated material outlet passage. The container is pivoted about an axis disposed reversely to the elongated axis of the container up to a point where the cyclone separator is operational. The flowing fluid and material passes through the inlet passageway where the material is separated from the fluid and dropped into the container, the fluid continuing through the fluid outlet passageway and back into the system from which it was withdrawn. The container is then moved about the transverse axis from the separating position back to the transporting position, the container and separated material held therein being transported to the other location.
