Flexible container useful for disposal of infected animals and for transporting load, comprises an outer body, and inner space

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# A flexible container of flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) type comprises an outer body (2), and an inner space (6). In the container the walls of (6) comprises a filling opening (7) which can be hermetically closed by a closing device (8) and at least one valved aperture (9). #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is included for the method of transporting load using the flexible container involving introducing the load into (6) via (7); hermetically closing (7) using (8); drawing air out of (6); optionally introducing a gas into (6); and transporting the container. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# For disposal of infected animals which are culled prior to or after depositing within the container, or are culled by a gas introduced into (6). For transporting load e.g. biologically hazardous material comprising cadavers or excrements of animals (claimed). For protecting external environment from the shipped materials. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The container allows regulation of the gaseous environment which surrounds the load deposited within the container; allows for the entire contents to be treated with a disinfecting gas prior to unloading; and not only protects the transported goods or materials, but also prevents the escape of any potentially pathogenic microbial agents and harmful insects or pests from the interior and spreading of such agents between different places and countries. The container maintains the load under negative pressure or under atmosphere of an inert gas during shipment by preventing deterioration of sensitive good and is dentrimental to survival of any insects or pests present in the load or to development of their germs. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The figure shows front view of a container attached to a trolley. 2 : outer body 6 : inner space 7 : filling opening 8 : closing device 9 : valved aperture. #CMT#INORGANIC CHEMISTRY : #/CMT# The gas is an inert gas. #CMT#INSTRUMENTATION AND TESTING : #/CMT# Preferred Components: The walls of (6) are made of material impermeable to liquids and gases. The container comprises an inner liner. The flexible container comprises at least 3 valved apertures. The valved apertures are provided with tubing comprising a valve. #CMT#ORGANIC CHEMISTRY : #/CMT# The gas is an inert gas. #CMT#POLYMERS : #/CMT# Preferred Components: The inner liner, which is made of material impermeable to liquids and gases (preferably polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon or metallized plastic).
