Hello,
I have a production problem and would welcome any ideas which would make this task easier.
I need to fill a 5 meter tube with pellets of 5mm grain size.
The inner diameter of the tube is approx 40mm.
Here's the problem...I need to fill the tube while the pipe has only a gradual incline - ie it is not practical to stand the heavy tube vertically and pour in the pellets using a funnel.
Can anyone think of a way I could pack the tube with the pellets while the tube is laid flat or with a maximum 45degree incline?
I appreciate any simple or crazy ideas - Andy
