Abstract:
1. A system relating to preventing material from accumulating on at least one interior wall surface of at least one material delivery passage during material handling operations, said system comprising: a) at least one wear liner structured and arranged to line the at least one interior wall surface of the at least one material delivery passage, such at least one wear liner comprising b) at least one incremental inflator structured and arranged to incrementally inflate said at least one inflatable cavity using pressurized air supplied to said at least one inflatable cavity in at least one series of pressure pulses, each pressure pulse of the at least one series separated by at least one partial deflation of said at least one inflatable cavity; c) at least one mount structured and arranged to mount said at least one wear liner over the at least one interior wall surface; d) wherein said at least one material-exposed wear layer comprises at least one deformable composition, e) wherein such incremental inflation of such at least one inflatable cavity produces incremental outward deformation of said at least one material-exposed wear layer; f) wherein such incremental outward deformation of said at least one material-exposed wear layer assists in dislodging accumulations of the material within at least one material delivery passage during such material handling operations; g) wherein said at least one incremental inflator comprises h) wherein said at least one material-exposed wear layer comprises
