A bulk material handling system has a silo (1), a downward tapering, substantially funnel-shaped section (2) at the lower end of the silo (1), a circulating arrangement (10) and a discharging arrangement (9) in communication with the circulating arrangement (10) for discharging the circulating bulk material out of the circulating arrangement (10) and the silo (1). The object of the invention is to create an improved bulk material handling system of the above-mentioned type. For that purpose, a circulating arrangement (10) in the silo (1) takes the bulk materials from a lower area (3) of the silo (1) and conveys them to a higher area of the silo (1), which is located however underneath its maximum filling level. The circulating arrangement (10) has a covering arrangement (15) designed to allow the bulk materials to be discharged through the upper end of the circulating arrangement (10) without being substantially subjected to the pressure of the bulk material inside the silo (1). |
