FLUIDISING MAT, CONTAINER AND CONTAINER LINER WITH SUCH A MAT

摘要

A fluidising mat has an upper, micro-perforated sheet (2) and a lower gas impermeable sheet (3). The upper and lower sheets are maintained in spaced apart superimposed relationship by a plurality of spaced-apart load bearing means (5), e.g. encapsulated air bubbles, which define a plurality of passageways that extend in different directions over substantially the full area of the fluidising mat and intersect with each other to form a single continuous chamber between the upper and lower sheets.
