<p>The invention relates to a method for emptying a container (2) filled with products such as agricultural or horticultural products by immersing the container (2) in a basin (4) filled with liquid (3), causing the products to flow out of the container (2) and lifting the emptied container (2) out of the basin (4), wherein the container (2) is tilted in the basin (4) and lifted out of the basin (4) in a curved path. In this manner products which do not float, or hardly so, can be offloaded quickly and efficiently without danger of damage. The invention also relates to an apparatus for performing this method. Such an apparatus (1) is provided according to the invention with a basin (4) filled with liquid (3) and means (8) for immersing the filled container (2) in the basin (4) and lifting the container (2) therefrom after offloading of the products, which immersing and lifting means (8) are adapted to perform a combined tilting and translation movement along a curved path during offloading of the products.</p> |
