Flexible container, method and apparatus for transmitting a particulate material from the flexible container, and discharge unit for the flexible container

摘要

A flexible container for a particulate material includes a main body having a sealable input opening in an upper portion thereof, and a sleeve extending from a lower portion of the main body. A connector is connected to a distal end which is folded along a side of the sleeve for storage. In carrying out a method of removing and transmitting the particulate material to another destination, the connector is connected to a carrier gas control device which supplies a carrier gas to the container that is mixed with the particulate material then the device has a transmitting pipe which transmits the particulate material to a container in a distant place. A suction is provided by the container in order to draw the particulate material to the container.
