Abstract
A primary conduit for a dilute phase particulate laden pneumatic stream is aligned with a dead pocket at the intersection of the primary conduit with secondary and tertiary conduits perpendicular to the primary conduit. The primary conduit is adjustable with respect to the dead pocket to vary the position at which the stream is directed into the dead pocket to thereby control division of the amount of particulate separated into the secondary and tertiary conduits. Thus, the ratio of particulates entering the secondary and tertiary conduits may be varied in a predetermined manner.
