Abstract

This invention relates to a pneumatic materials handling unit, e.g. one for unloading bulk fluent materials from ships. The unit includes a support structure, a boom (16), and a suction pipe. The suction pipe includes a boom pipe (42), which forms a part of the boom, and a rigid down pipe (20), defining a suction nozzle (74) at its operative bottom end. It includes also a pivot joint (24) via which the boom pipe and the down pipe are pivotally interconnected and, at the joint, an arrangement of at least two telescopically displaceable pipe sections (104, 44.1) that interconnect the boom pipe and the down pipe. This arrangement defines an arc in the suction pipe about the pivot axis of the pivot joint and operatively accommodates pivoting of the joint via telescopic displacement of its pipe sections. The unit provides for effective manoeuvring of its suction nozzle in confined spaces containing materials to be unloaded thereby.
