摘要

The process for transporting screws, washers, etc. uses a pneumatic conveyor system with a polygonal transport shuttle (5). The middle portion (5.2) of the shuttle has lateral arrival (6a) and departure (6b) orifices. The conveyor tube system is also polygonal and has a side opening (F1) at the start position (M1)and two side openings (F21, F22) at the arrival position (M2). The side openings cover the lateral orifices of the shuttle in its start and end positions (P1, P2). An Independent claim is included for a device for carrying out the process.
