Abstract:
1. A conveying process, comprising: generating a vacuum within a loading unit, the loading unit capable of being in fluid communication with two or more storage bins and capable of drawing from said two or more storage bins; drawing a particulate material from at least one storage bin and into the loading unit in response to the vacuum so that the particulate material enters the loading unit; monitoring weight of particulate material drawn into the loading unit through input from load cells connected to the loading unit and transmitting the input to a controller; when a predetermined target value of the particulate material drawn into the loading unit is detected as the input to the controller, pressurizing the loading unit in response to a control input received from the controller; and discharging the particulate material from the loading unit into piping of an equipment unit in response to the pressurization of the loading unit.
