<p>A bin (10) for storing dry powder bulk material or granules. Bulk material is deposited in an upper section (11) of the bin (10) and is discharged from the bottom of the lower section (12) of the bin (10). The lower section (12) of the bin (10) is formed with oppositely directed, downwardly sloping walls (21) (22) joined by opposing vertical walls (23) (24). The downwardly sloping walls (21) (22), respectively, slope downwardly at an angle greater than the angle of repose of the material or granules in the bin. Disposed in the lower section (12) of the bin (10) is a planar vertical divider wall (25) that is supported by the vertical walls (23) (24) of the lower section (12). The vertical divider wall (25) has flat surfaces that face, respectively, the oppositely directed, downwardly sloping walls (21) (22) of the lower section (12) for reducing bridging of the dry powder bulk material or granules in the bulk material bin (1) during mass flow of the dry powder bulk material or granules from the upper section (11) through the lower section of the bin (12). <IMAGE></p> |
