The transition chamber is contained within a spool valve 26 comprising a pair of drum grips 44. The drum grip is rotatably coupled to the inner element 28 of the spool valve. The inner element is rotated relative to the housing and the drum manipulator 60 grasps the end of the drum 6. The drum is transferred from the transition chamber to the processing chamber 2. The drum is delivered in a desired shape and / or a desired number of pieces and the drum and the material contained therein are deposited into the processing chamber 2.
