1. A high capacity bulk loader and transfer apparatus for particulate materials comprising:

  • a. a first air-materials separating chamber;

    b. an inlet into the first air-materials separating chamber;

    c. a first outlet from the first air-materials separating chamber;

    d. a second outlet from the first air-materials separating chamber;

    e. a suction mechanism having an inlet and an exhaust outlet, the inlet of the suction mechanism being in communication with the first outlet from the first air-materials separating chamber for drawing a high powered air stream through the inlet of the first air-materials separating chamber and into the first air-materials separating chamber, to entrain the materials and propel them through the inlet into the first air-materials separating chamber;

    f. first separating means within the first air-materials separating chamber for restricting the passage of particulate materials to the suction mechanism while allowing the passage of air from the first air-materials separating chamber to the suction mechanism;

    g. a discharge conveyor operably coupled with the second outlet from the first air-materials separating chamber and adapted to allow the continuous transfer of particulate materials from the second outlet from the first air-materials separating chamber to a remote location; and

    h. an exhaust structure mounted to the exhaust outlet of the suction mechanism, the exhaust structure being rotatable such that an outlet of the exhaust structure points in a different direction when the exhaust structure is rotated.
