摘要

Bunker for granular ice includes discharging equipment for the granular ice mounted above the bottom (6) of the bunker (1) and stretching over the whole surface of the bottom (6). One side wall (29) of the bunker (1) on the discharging side of the discharging equipment has discharge openings (24) for the granular ice. The discharge equipment consists of conveying worms (8) positioned parallel to each other and spaced some distance apart. The worms (8) are fitted with vanes (10) which are projecting over outer edge of their spiral (9). The vanes (10) are positioned diagonally at the same or at a greater angle than the angle of the spirals (9) of the worms (8). The vanes (10) of one conveying worm (8) are axially arranged in one row and the rows of the conveying worms (8) in the bunker (1) are angularly displaced.
