<p>In a system (3) for conveying bulk materials (11) form the first container (2) into a second container arranged below the latter, the two containers being connected by a conveyor channel (10), a first slide and a second slide arranged downstream in the direction of conveying (12), can each be moved from an inlet position (A or A') to a closed position (B or B') and vice and versa perpendicular to the conveyor channel. To obtain a simple reliable metering device which is adequately sealed from adjacent spaces, metered conveying of the bulk materials is effected by dividing the conveyor channel (10) into two parts. The first part (14) of the conveyor channel (10) opens into a lateraly offset metering chamber (16), which opens the second part (18) of the conveyor channel (10). First slide is arranged at the junction of the first part (14) of the conveyor channel (10) within the metering chamber (16) and the second slide is arranged at the junction of the metering chamber (16) within the second part (18) of the conveyor channel (10).</p> |
