Abstract

Method for handling material in a pneumatic pipe transport system, in which material, such as waste material, is input from an input aperture of an input point (3), such as from the input aperture of a refuse chute or of some other input point, and is conducted along a feeder channel (2) with a shaper device (1) arranged in connection with the input point or in the proximity of it, in which case the material to be handled is conducted into the shaper device and/or through it by the aid of at least partly gravity and/or the suction and/or a pressure difference of the pneumatic pipe transport system. In the method the material is handled with one handling means (10) in a shaper device (1), which handling means is rotated around an axis of rotation when handling material and which handling means comprises an aperture (20), which is arranged eccentrically with respect to the axis of rotation of the handling means, that the rotatable handling means (10) arranges the material to be infed into the proximity of the output aperture and, if necessary, shapes the material, together with at least an edge (18) of the output aperture of the rotary shaper and/or the wall of the output channel (4), when the handling means (10) is rotated with a drive device (7).
