Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container filled with a high-viscosity fluid such as silicone paste, the container comprising an outlet aperture near its lower side.
  • a high-viscosity fluid such as silicone paste
  • the pouch in which the paste is incorporated, and the sealing sheet remain behind as waste material, while comparatively much material adheres to said waste material and is also discarded.
  • the processing of such waste material is becoming a problem which is more and more difficult to solve and only at higher and higher costs. Moreover, a rather large quantity of valuable fluid is lost.
  • the container is constructed from two equal parts which are connected together near the centre of the container according to a plane extending at least substantially perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the container, one end of a diaphragm which can be moved between a first position in which the diaphragm substantially engages the inner wall of one container half and a second position in which the diaphgragm substantially engages the inner wall of the second container half, being clamped between the interconnected ends of the container halves, and which container comprises an outlet aperture near its lower side and a connection for providing a pressurised medium between the inner wall of the container and the diaphragm on the side remote from the outlet aperture.
  • GB-A-2 098 667 describes containers for water.
  • the container described in GB-A-2 098 667 is also provided with a diaphragm.
  • the left-hand half is a cross-sectional view of the container; the right-hand half is an elevation of the same container.
  • the container or tank 1 shown in the Figure comprises two equal container parts 2 and 3 which at their facing open ends comprise flanges 4 and 5 and are connected together by means of bolts which are passed through the flanges but are not further shown. So the container or tank 1 comprises two halves 2 and 3 which are at least substantially mirror-symmetrical with respect to a plane A-A extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal centre line 6 of the container.
  • the container 1 is supported by a frame 7 which is built up from a number of vertically extending columns 8 and a chassis 9, preferably in the form of a conventional pallet, so that the frame 7 with the container 1 supported by the frame 7 can be transported by means of a fork-lift truck or the like in a manner similar to that of a conventional pallet optionally comprising a load.
  • a more or less hat-shaped diaphragm 10 is present in the interior of the container or tank and comprises at one end a circumferential rim 11 which is clamped between the flanges 4 and 5.
  • a sealing member 12 for example, a ball valve or the like, via which the container can be emptied and/or filled, is secured to the bottom of the lower container half 3.
  • the above-described container can be filled by forcing the fluid into the holder via the sealing member 12.
  • the hat-like diaphragm will gradually be moved from the solid line position shown in the lower left part of the figure and the broken-line position shown in the lower right-hand part of the Figure to the position of the lines 10' shown in the Figure.
  • pressurised medium for example, compressed air
  • pressurised medium for example, compressed air
  • the diaphragm engages at least substantially the inner wall of the container so that on the one hand the capacity of the container may be used optimally for receiving the fluid and on the other hand substantially all the fluid can be forced again out of the container.
  • the spacing between the inner wall of the parts 2 and 3 and the diaphragm is not drawn to scale.
  • the inner wall of the lower container half 3 will be in contact with the fluid.
  • the inner wall of the said container half may optionally be provided with a suitable lining, for example teflon or polyethylene.
  • the container may have a capacity of, for example, from 1,600 to 2,000 litres, the dimensions and/or the weight of the container with the structure supporting the said container nevertheless remaining such that the container can be moved by means of a fork-lift truck and can be transported by means of a truck.
  • hoisting means 13 may be provided on the container 1 so that the container together with the frame 7 can be hoisted by means of a hoisting apparatus.
  • the container half 2 may also be separated from the container half 3 with supporting frame 7, by only lifting container part 2 with the aid of the hoisting means 13.
