Benefits of technology
The system significantly increases production rates, reduces equipment wear, and enables efficient application of granular materials in inaccessible areas, potentially reducing labor hours and site damage by using a portable, self-contained apparatus that can be easily shipped and mounted to a trailer.
Problems solved by technology
What has been a common problem has been moving the granulate from place to place when a dump truck and / or cranes and mechanical shovels do not have easy access to the worksite.
As such, heavy equipment cannot be driven over the pad (and lines and bars) because the lines and bars (and vapor barrier) would be disturbed.
These perimeter forms also interfere with the use of heavy equipment to load the granulate into the pad.
As it relates to pumps generally, an ongoing problem experienced by placing flowable material, in particular materials like sand and gravel, is the extreme wear and tear these abrasive materials cause to these systems, and the differing sizes of the particulates.
These abrasive materials rapidly break down and even destroy the parts of the handling systems and pumps.
Additionally, even with various improvements a significant amount of inefficiencies exists in currently available systems.
Leaks caused by the wear and tear of various parts of the system reduce significantly the operational characteristics of these systems.
Furthermore, when the worksite is very far from where a truck can go, the pumping mechanism require sufficient power to pump the materials through a hose to the worksite.

A system for moving and placing granulate is provided. A housing is mountable to a trailer and has at least one cabinet located on a side of the housing with a compressor, at least one back compartment located on a back side of the housing, wherein the at least one back compartment has at least one rotary airlock device in communication with the compressor, wherein the compressor feeds air to the rotary airlock device under pressure, an actuatable feeder located on the back side of the housing, wherein the feeder when in an open position receives granulate and feeds the granulate to the at least one rotary airlock device, and a hose mount located on the housing and in communication with a bottom portion of the at least one rotary airlock, wherein when the compressor is actuated, the granulate is fed from the feeder, through the at least one rotary airlock and out through the house mount into a hose to place the granulate in a predetermined place.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a United States Continuation application of U.S. Ser. No. 17 / 012,026 filed Sep. 3, 2020 entitled Rotary Airlock device and System for Moving and Placing Granulate, which itself claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 896,906 filed Sep. 6, 2019, entitled Rotary Airlock Device for use with an Apparatus for Moving and Placing Granulate Material, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to placement of granular materials. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rotary airlock device used in a system or apparatus that moves and places granulate.BACKGROUND[0003]Sand, gravel and rock are used in a variety of applications for the construction industry. From aggregate base for concrete slabs, to back fill for retaining walls, granular materials, or granulates, are probably the...
