Abstract:
A conveyor system ( 10 ) for transporting a transportable material (M) by means of a fluid for transporting the transportable material (M) between a first conveying line portion ( 11 ) and a second conveying line portion ( 12 ), said conveying line portions ( 11, 12 ) comprising a plurality of pipes forming a continuous conveying line ( 13 ), said system ( 10 ) comprising: a conveyor device ( 1 ) in fluid connection to one of said first or said conveying line portions ( 11, 12 ) operative to provide negative air pressure or vacuum through said conveying line ( 13 ); a material feeder device ( 2 ); wherein the conveyor device ( 1 ) comprises at least one material level sensor ( 1 a,  1 b ), wherein the at least one material level sensor ( 1 a,  1 b ) is used to monitor one or more material level(s) inside the conveyor device ( 1 ) and via one or more material level sensor lines ( 3 ) giving at least one material level signal ( 1 aa,  1 bb ) to a controller ( 4 ) and from the controller ( 4 ) via a control signal line ( 5 ) transmit a control signal ( 5 a ) to the material feeder device ( 2 ) having a valve ( 6 ) adapted to control the amount of air injected into the system, typically the into the conveying line ( 13 ), wherein the controller ( 4 ) is adapted to control the valve ( 6 ) and/or a mass-flow (M), respectively, of the material feeder device ( 2 ) in dependence of output from the at least one material level sensor ( 1 a,  1 b ) to control amount of air injected into the conveying line ( 13 ) at the feeder device ( 2 ).

Claim (Index 12):
The conveyor system according to  claim 10 , wherein the controller is arranged to use known volume(s), volume up to the lower material level sensor  1 b  (Volume 2), and volume between the lower material level sensor  1 b  and the upper material level sensor  1 a  (Volume 1) inside the conveyor device, and together with the material level sensors by means of the controller predict when the pipe emptying unit should be activated and empty the conveying line.
