A MOBILE APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FILLING AN ELONGATED BAG WITH PARTICULATE MATERIAL

摘要

There is described a mobile apparatus (1) for filling an elongated bag (2) with particulate material. The mobile apparatus (1) is adapted for moving along a surface at a controlled velocity, and comprises a receiving means (5) for receiving the particulate material to be filled into the elongated bag (2). The mobile apparatus (1) comprises a tubular member (7) adapted to extend essentially horizontally into said elongated bag (2) during filling, and a rotary auger (6) extending at least partially into said tubular member (7) from said receiving means (5).
