ABSTRACT

A feeder arrangement (102) for a slurry transport system (100), which is
preferably a hydro hoist, includes a chamber with a high pressure water inlet
(114), a low pressure water outlet (122), and a low pressure solids inlet
(118) at a top end. The low pressure solids inlet (118) has a transfer chute
(130) that opens into a lower section of the chamber to maintain a clear-water
environment adjacent the top end. A high pressure solids and water outlet
(126) is provided at a bottom end. The inlets and outlets are controlled by
suitable valves. Three such chambers are preferably operated together in
sequence between incoming and outgoing columns in a mine.
