A system for handling and emptying containers for fluid or pulverulent material. The container includes a discharge opening adjacent a lowermost corner and near a longitudinal edge. A second opening is provided at a remote corner of the container for allowing pressure compensation. The container is placed upon a suitable support means so that the longitudinal edge comprises the lowermost portion of the container which is then placed within a pressure vessel through an access opening in one end thereof. After the discharge opening of the container is connected to a flow pipe extending outwardly through the pressure vessel, a removable wall of the pressure vessel is sealed and the pressure vessel and container therein are rotated upwardly about an axis located adjacent to the openable end of the pressure vessel. |
