A DEVICE FOR SEPARATING TWO SPACES FROM ONE ANOTHER

摘要

A device for separating a first space (C) and a second space (9A) from one another is disclosed. The device comprises a partition wall (29) arranged such that the first space and the second space are located on opposite sides of said partition wall (29). The partition wall(29) is provided with a through aperture which connects the first space and the second space and allows a bulk material to move from the first space (C) into the second space (9A). A shutter (39) is provided slidingly movable with respect to the partition wall (29) for selectively opening and closing the through aperture (37). The shutter has a port (41) which can be selectively brought in an alignment position and in an out of alignment position with respect to the through aperture (37).
