A particulate matter transport and discharge arrangement (24, 10) comprising: a reservoir containing particulate matter and having a discharge tube attached thereto, wherein air under pressure is provided to said reservoir for entraining the particulate matter in an air stream for removing the particulate matter from said reservoir via said discharge tube; a hollow elongated member having a lateral wall, with at least a portion of the lateral wall of said hollow elongated member having plural apertures therein, said hollow elongated member further including a first open end coupled to said discharge tube for receiving air-stream entrained particulate matter from said reservoir, and a second opposed open end; and a discharge mechanism coupled to the second open end of said hollow elongated member for receiving and discharging the particulate material; wherein when the particulate material at least partially fills the hollow elongate member, reduced air flow passes through the apertures thereof and said hollow elongated member thereby regulates the flow of particulate matter to said discharge mechanism to prevent over feeding of said discharge mechanism of the particulate matter; wherein said hollow elongated member is in the form of a tube; wherein said hollow elongated member connects to an upper air tube coupled to said reservoir and includes a lower apertured tubular screen coupled to said discharge mechanism, characterised in that said upper air tube is connected to said lower apertured tubular screen in a semi-sealed manner; wherein said upper air tube includes an outwardly tapered lower end portion adapted for semi-sealed connection to said lower apertured tubular screen, wherein said lower end portion of said upper air tube is outwardly tapered in the direction of particulate matter flow; and wherein said upper air tube further includes an inner lip extension disposed in a spaced manner inwardly from said outwardly tapered lower end portion, and wherein said lower apertured tubular screen includes an upper edge portion disposed between and engaging the outwardly tapered lower portion and the inner lip extension of said upper air tube. a reservoir containing particulate matter and having a discharge tube attached thereto, wherein air under pressure is provided to said reservoir for entraining the particulate matter in an air stream for removing the particulate matter from said reservoir via said discharge tube; a hollow elongated member having a lateral wall, with at least a portion of the lateral wall of said hollow elongated member having plural apertures therein, said hollow elongated member further including a first open end coupled to said discharge tube for receiving air-stream entrained particulate matter from said reservoir, and a second opposed open end; and a discharge mechanism coupled to the second open end of said hollow elongated member for receiving and discharging the particulate material; wherein when the particulate material at least partially fills the hollow elongate member, reduced air flow passes through the apertures thereof and said hollow elongated member thereby regulates the flow of particulate matter to said discharge mechanism to prevent over feeding of said discharge mechanism of the particulate matter; wherein said hollow elongated member is in the form of a tube; wherein said hollow elongated member connects to an upper air tube coupled to said reservoir and includes a lower apertured tubular screen coupled to said discharge mechanism, characterised in that said upper air tube is connected to said lower apertured tubular screen in a semi-sealed manner; wherein said upper air tube includes an outwardly tapered lower end portion adapted for semi-sealed connection to said lower apertured tubular screen, wherein said lower end portion of said upper air tube is outwardly tapered in the direction of particulate matter flow; and wherein said upper air tube further includes an inner lip extension disposed in a spaced manner inwardly from said outwardly tapered lower end portion, and wherein said lower apertured tubular screen includes an upper edge portion disposed between and engaging the outwardly tapered lower portion and the inner lip extension of said upper air tube.
