Patent ID: 10604289

Abstract:
A device and method that relates to a swivel arrangement for a carousel filler arrangement having a rotating tank and a product pipe for transporting product into the rotating tank are disclosed. The swivel arrangement may include a tank connecting part, a pipe connecting part, a first opening for receiving a gaseous media, and a second opening for ejecting the gaseous media. A first channel may be partly defined by a protruding portion of the pipe connecting part and an outer wall of the product pipe, and a second channel may be partly defined by the protruding portion and a protruding portion of the tank connecting part. A gap may be formed between the pipe connecting part and the protruding portion of the tank connecting part, the gap may be located between the second channel and the second opening thereby forming a particle barrier whereby, when in use, particles are hindered from entering the second channel by a flow of gaseous media from the first opening to the second opening via the first and second channels.
