Abstract
A loading apparatus is provided for receiving solid particulate material entrained in gas stream. The loading apparatus separates the particulate material, such as plastic pellets or plastic regrind, from the gas stream so that the particulate material is retained in the loading apparatus for subsequent loading into another receiving vessel or into an injection molding machine. The gas stream leaves the loading apparatus substantially free of particulate material. The entrained particulate material enters the generally cylindrical loading apparatus in a tangential direction and the reduction in speed of the gas stream causes the particulate material to fall out into the inverted frusto-conical lower section of the loading apparatus. Gas leaving the upper section of the loading apparatus is caused to reverse its circumferential flow before leaving the loading apparatus so that substantially all of the fines in the gas stream fall out into the body of the loading apparatus.
