An intermodal container for loading, transporting and unloading particulate material comprising a frame that is compatible with intermodal standards, and at least one hopper having a plurality of rows of funnels, each funnel having angled side walls and a bottom having at least one discharge opening. The funnel wall angle is at least as great as the critical angle of repose of the material to be contained therein. The material can be unloaded substantially by gravity, without the need for vibration or other agitation. |
