Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a discharge apparatus for a funnel-shaped container with an outlet at its narrow end, having a number of elements made of a gas-permeable material provided within the container on its wall so as to extend towards the outlet of the container in such a manner that a channel sealed along the edges of the elements is defined between each particular element and the wall of the container, the channel being divided into separate sections by means of transverse partition walls, and gas supply conduits being provided for these sections.
  • Bridging is a frequently occurring problem in the discharge of various materials from the lower end of funnel-shaped containers, which often form the lower end of a silo but can be open at the top as well.
  • the bridging causes the discharge to be interrupted more or less temporarily.
  • DE-A-1506977 discloses discharge apparatus which comprises a container with inclined side walls and an opening in its base. Porous elements are provided in the side walls. Air is supplied to the porous elements at a pressure selected according to the distribution of material in the container, to ensure that the distribution remains even.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive discharge apparatus for powders, which allows a controllable and uninterrupted even discharge to be achieved, even with powders which are extremely liable to bridging.
  • the present invention provides an apparatus according to the introduction, in which apparatus each gas supply conduit is provided with a throttle provided by an apertured plate selected according to the material to be discharged from the container, the plate being capable of being removed from the conduit.
  • the elements made of a gas-permeable material are preferably arranged to extend at least substantially from the outlet of the funnel-shaped container up to the inlet end of the container.
  • gas is supplied to all the channel sections from a common source.
  • the gas supply conduits provided for each channel section is throttled by means of a throttle plate the throttle opening of which is chosen so as to suit the properties of the active dry powder.
  • the gas-permeable elements are preferably made of a weldable sheet metal available on the market under the name DYNAPORE®, whereby the pores in the sheet metal are preferably directed obliquely downward and towards the outlet of the funnel-shaped container.
  • Other materials for so called fluidised conveying can be used as well.
  • the throttled supply of gas into the separate channel sections between the wall of the container and the elements of gas-permeable material provides an uninterrupted even discharge of material, also when the material level in the funnel-shaped container is descending, right down to the outlet opening.
  • Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a funnel-shaped container with the apparatus according to the invention, the container forming a bottom at the lower end of a silo.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view through the upper end of the funnel-shaped silo bottom.
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged partial sectional view of the wall of the silo bottom at an element made of a material permeable to gas.
  • Figure 4 is an enlarged longitudinal sectional view of a gas supply conduit provided with a throttle.
  • Figure 5 is an enlarged partial longitudinal sectional view of the wall of the silo bottom and an element of gas-permeable material.
  • a funnel-shaped, preferably conical container forming the bottom at the lower end of a silo is designated generally by the reference numeral 1; the silo is designated by 17.
  • the conical wall of the container 1 is designated by 2.
  • An outlet 3 is provided at the lower end of the bottom part 1.
  • a conventional pivotable valve plate (not shown in the drawing) can be provided in the outlet 3.
  • a number of elements 4 is mounted on the inside of the wall 2.
  • the elements are made of a gas-permeable material, preferable of a sheet metal available on the market under the name DYNAPORE®, consisting of a porous metal sheet about 3 mm in thickness and welded up of a close-meshed metal network. Pores 7 in the sheet, Figure 5, are preferably directed obliquely downward towards the outlet 3 of the funnel.
  • the edges of the sheet elements 4 are welded to the wall 2, so that a channel 5 is defined between each sheet element 4 and the wall 2.
  • Two such edge welds 6 are visible in Figure 3; in Figures 1 and 2, these welds are shown by means of dashes.
  • the elements 4 extend from the upper end of the bottom part 1, which can be open at the top as well, down to the outlet 3.
  • the channels 5 are divided into separate sections 9 by means of transverse partition walls 8. The sections are positioned one after another from the top towards the outlet 3.
  • a separate gas supply conduit 10 is provided for each channel section 9, the gas being mostly air or nitrogen, for instance.
  • Each supply conduit 10 comprises a throttle 11.
  • the throttle 11 can be formed by means of a throttle plate with a constant throttle opening suited for the properties of the material.
  • 12 designates a rubber hose and 13 a hose clamp. The throttle plate is replaced whenever required.
  • the supply of gas is preferably carried out from a common source the outlet conduit of which is designated with 14. 15 designates the extension of the conduit 14 along the wall of the bottom part 1, and 16 designates annular distribution conduits extending around the bottom part 1 up to each particular channel section 9.
  • Gas trickling out through the elements 4 activates the material in the bottom part 1 so that an uninterrupted even flow is obtained through the outlet 3.
  • the channels 5 are divided into the separate transverse sections 9 and the supply of gas into each section 9 is throttled, the discharge of the material takes place evenly even when the material level in the bottom part 1 is descending.
  • the throttles 11 prevent the gas from "escaping" through the uncovered element portions.
  • the combination of the throttled supply of gas and the provision of the separate channel sections also keeps the consumption of gas at a low level, which is an advantage not only economically but also for the reason that high consumption of gas involves filtering problems with the excess gas to avoid formation of dust.
