| 摘要 |
A method of and an apparatus for filling a tube or a hose with a solid material, such as sand, preferably for preparing a solid sausage-like member for coast protection or the like in which a liquid, preferably water, by a water pump or other pressure source is transported in a continuous flow through the tube or hose being fed from one end of the tube or hose and escaping partly or fully from the other end. The solid material, preferably sand, is fed to the feed line between the pump or other pressure source and the tube or hose to be filled or to the inlet end of this. The flow rate of the liquid is varied in such a manner that as the area of flow owing to sedimentation of the solid material in the tube or hose is reduced the rate of flow is still kept substantially within the range in which sedimentation of the solid material will take place.
