Abstract:
1. A transfer system for a carrier, comprising: a flow supply tube; a flow generator in fluid communication with said flow supply tube; a carrier transport tube network dimensioned for transfer reception of the carrier and having a first carrier reception chamber provided with a first carrier stop point, and wherein said flow supply tube is arranged such that, during flow supply generation by said flow generator, said flow generator has a single point of flow feed communication with said carrier transport tube network via said flow supply tube; and a brake valve positioned to provide a fluid flow passageway that enables, when in an open state, fluid flow communication between a first section of said carrier transport tube network and a first section of said flow supply tube, and said brake valve being arranged such that during a draw of fluid from the carrier transport network and through the first section of said flow supply tube, the brake valve is in an open state which enables flow between said first sections and which places the brake valve in a carrier braking mode.
