Abstract

THIS PENNING MACHINE INCLUDES A STORAGE RESERVOIR COUPLED TO A MEETING CHAMBER AND SUPLYING A DISCHARGE GUN AND THE MACHINE IS PROVIDED WITH A FLOW CONTROL RECLAIM UNIT. THE CONTROL APPARATUS INCLUDES A BY-PASS CONDUIT WHICH PURGES RESIDUAL BLASTING MATERIAL FROM THE METERING CHAMBER AND THE DISCHARGE DUCTWORK, AND RETURNS IT TO THE RESERVOIR. THE PURGING ACTION IS EFFECUATED BY SUCTION FROM A BLOWER LOCATED IN THE RESERVIOR, THE SUCTION BEING APPLIED TO THE METERING CHAMBER VIA THE BY-PASS CONDUIT WHEN THE GUN IS INOPERATIVE. A METERING PLATFORM BELOW THE RESERVIOR ORIFICE COLLECTS BLASTING MATERIAL AND EFFECTIVELY PLUGS THE ORIFICE TO PRECLUDE ESCAPT OF THE BLASTING MATERIAL FROM THE RESERVOIR WHEN THE GUN IS INOPERATIVE.
