Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a swivel arrangement for a carousel filler arrangement having a rotating tank (2) and a product pipe (4) for transporting product into the rotating tank. The swivel arrangement comprises a tank connecting part (6), a pipe connecting part (5), a first opening for receiving a gaseous media, a second opening for ejecting the gaseous media. A first channel is partly defined by a protruding portion of the pipe connecting part and an outer wall of the product pipe, and a second channel is partly defined by the protruding portion and a protruding portion of the tank connecting part. A gap is formed between the pipe connecting part and the protruding portion of the tank connecting part, the gap is located between the second channel and the second opening thereby forming a particle barrier whereby, in use, particles are hindered from entering the second channel by a flow of gaseous media from the first opening to the second opening via the first and second channels.
