METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING BULK MATERIAL

摘要

To transport dry bulk solids in a container 1, the container floor is covered with air permeable material 3 and then filled with the dry bulk solids 17. An opening is formed in the container at or close to the floor. A discharge shute 23 from an air supply is attached to said opening and the other end of the container is elevated so that the air stream arriving in the container through the permeable material facilitates flow of said solids from the container.
