A CONTAINER MODULE FOR INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF DRY FLOWABLE PRODUCT
摘要
A container module (1) for intermodal transportation and temporary storage of dry flowable product includes a pressure tank (5) supported by hanger plates (47) welded to end frames (9F, 9R) of a support frame (3) defining a standardized container envelope. The pressure tank (5) has a wall with a flat top center section (63a) and short flat side sections (63c) joined by upper cylindrical intermediate sections (63b) and lower cylindrical sections (63d) below the flat side sections (63c) which blend into a plurality of intersecting, downwardly discharging hoppers (45). Elongated beam members (73) extending along each side of the support frame (3) tie the hoppers (45) together to resist bending of the suspended tank (5).
