Definitions
- viscous products require their packaging at a place of manufacture of the products, then their transport to a place of use.
- the packaging of such products is in metal drums of 200 liters whose weight is much too high for two men, let alone one, can move them.
- drums are a considerable gene for paint companies because, in addition to their different manipulations, the empty drums are unusable and accumulate until they are eliminated.
- vacuum storage in addition to full storage, that is to say that companies must have a floor area more important than their flow is large.
- Containers formed of a flexible bag placed in a rigid outer casing are known, but the introduction of the bag, the transhipments of the whole, the emptying of the bag by inclination of the whole and the reuse of the bag assume it is sturdy.
- this bag is made from a plastic sheath that must be thick, which has disadvantages not only because of its price but also for its use.
- the edge of the bag is not possible to fold the edge of the bag on the edge of the envelope, either to fill the bag already placed in the envelope, or to empty the contents by pumping.
- the bag is always sealed, it is opened by cutting with a knife blade or the like, which is incompatible with the guarantee of having a bag edge long enough to cover the outer envelope and the protect.
- bag-in-barrel containers of this type, known as "bag-in-barrel" are often intended to be emptied at one time by overturning.
- GB 2279058 discloses a relatively complex machine for lifting a large capacity drum, overturning it and emptying it.
- DE 19544806 relates to a bucket of paint of 3, 5 or 10 liters.
- this document describes how to place the bag in the bucket, as it is an industrial operation, without describing a particular method necessary to take the contents.
- the present invention relates to a novel process, to keep the original drums clean, internally and externally, and to reuse them as they are, because they are not soiled, this method also allowing almost complete use product, which avoids significant losses.
- a container according to the invention comprises two parts, namely a plastic bag 10 and a robust envelope 20.
- the bag 10 has a free mouth 11 and the casing 20 has a removable cover 21.
- the envelope 20 has a bottom 22 and walls 23 whose height h is less than the height H of the bag 10, so that the edge 12 of the mouth 11 exceeds the edge 24 of the envelope 20.
- the envelope 20 shown here is a standard metal shaft with a useful capacity of 200 liters and is therefore the height H of that bag to be adapted to that of the barrel 20 h which is constant because it is, however , very easy to determine the height H during the manufacture of the bag10.
- the bag 10 is chosen solely for its sealing, that is to say for its ability to isolate the product to be packaged from the barrel 20, because it is not necessary that it alone has a large resistance since it is supported on the inside of the barrel 20, which is extremely robust and rigid and furthermore it is not intended to be reused.
- the bag 10 must only be insensitive to accidental bursts that may be caused by handling and filling operations may cause cuts or tears.
- the nozzle A is raised, as is well known per se, and the filling is stopped when the product level has reached a value such that it is possible to fold the upper part of the bag 10 on itself and thus to "close” the bag without sealing it, as shown in Figure 4, after which we put in place the cover 21 and fixed firmly.
- the folding of the top of the bag 10 is useful to prevent the chaos due to transport causing overflows of products out of the bag 10 and, therefore, in the barrel 20 but its sealing is useless because we do not change the orientation of the bag.
- 'ensemble bag 10 - barrel 20 since the introduction of the bag, its filling, the closure of the drum, its transport, its opening and until the extraction of the contents B.
- Another equivalent solution consists in leaving the edge of the bag 10 folded over the edge 24 of the barrel 20 and thus jamming it.
- the advantage of this solution is to simplify handling since during removal of the cover 21, the bag 10 is already open.
- the underside of the cover 21 may be contaminated by splashing of the product B, in which case a plastic protection sheet must be placed between the top of the product B and the underside of the cover 21.
- the container according to the invention is ready to be stored and transported and delivered to the recipient.
- the suction rod C is removed, then the bag 10 is taken out according to the arrow F2 (FIG. 6) and brought to it as evoked by the arrow F3, to a calender 30 comprising two rollers 31 and 32 set in motion by a crank 33.
- the bag 10 is introduced through its bottom between the two rollers 31 and 32 and the crank 33 is actuated to drive the rollers in the direction of the arrows F4 and F5, which forces the bag 10 to move along the arrow F6 and to pass entirely between the rollers 31 and 32 whose minimal spacing causes crushing of the bag 10 and the energetic thrust of the remains of the product B towards the mouth of the bag 10, remains that are either left in the bottom of the bag 10 fault to have been able to take them, either glued to the walls of the bag 10.
- the barrel 20 freed from the bag 10 remained perfectly clean and can be reused indefinitely.
- the invention provides a specific provision when the product B must be subjected to the action of a stirrer, a mixer or a kneader.
- the product B delivered in the container according to the invention is a standard base (for example white paint) to which dyes must be added at the site of use.
- the mixer is of the current type, comprising a handle at the base of which is a propeller driven by a small electric motor.
- This apparatus can not be easily used for a container according to the invention because the agitator immersed in the mass of the product B must be manipulated and moved to the periphery where the bag 10 is located. It is perfectly adapted to isolate a product and is used in such conditions that it resists the movements of the product B but is not designed to withstand the tears that the mixer propeller could cause when it comes into contact with it.
- the invention provides a particular stirrer which is shown in FIG.
- the agitator 40 shown comprises a central element, or handle 41, carrying an electric motor 42 kinematically connected to an axis (not visible in the drawing) on which a propeller 43 is wedged.
- this helix is surrounded by a protective element which is formed here of a fixed ring 44 disposed beyond the virtual circle that runs through the ends of the blades of the propeller 43 in rotation and which is held in place by support arms 45 fixed to the handle 41.
- Such a ring is reminiscent of the one associated with boat propellers, as is known per se.
- the height I of the ring must be sufficient for said ring 44 to abut against the bottom of the bag 10 and thus prevents contact between the bottom of the bag 10 and the propeller 43 in rotation.
- the bag 10 itself, along the cylindrical wall of the barrel 20, is also protected from any aggression of the helix 43 by the lateral surface of the ring 44 itself.
- the protective element may be of any desired type different from the ring 44 described herein.
- it may be a bell trellised or pierced with holes, or several angularly offset rings, the important thing being to allow the movements of the product B and simultaneously ensure the protection of the bag 10.

Abstract
Description
L'utilisation de produits visqueux suppose leur conditionnement sur un lieu de fabrication des produits, puis leur transport jusqu'à un lieu d'utilisation.The use of viscous products requires their packaging at a place of manufacture of the products, then their transport to a place of use.
Généralement, le conditionnement de tels produits se fait dans des fûts métalliques de 200 litres dont le poids est beaucoup trop élevé pour que deux hommes, et à plus forte raison un seul, puisse les déplacer.Generally, the packaging of such products is in metal drums of 200 liters whose weight is much too high for two men, let alone one, can move them.
Dans le cas des peintures, enduits et revêtements destinés au bâtiment, les fûts constituent une gène considérable aux entreprises de peinture car, outre leurs différentes manipulations, les fûts vides sont inutilisables et s'accumulent jusqu'à ce qu'ils soient éliminés, ce stockage à vide s'ajoutant au stockage à plein, c'est-à-dire que les entreprises doivent disposer d'une surface au sol d'autant plus importante que leur débit est grand.In the case of paints, coatings and coatings for the building, the drums are a considerable gene for paint companies because, in addition to their different manipulations, the empty drums are unusable and accumulate until they are eliminated. vacuum storage in addition to full storage, that is to say that companies must have a floor area more important than their flow is large.
Il est en effet impossible, dans la pratique, de nettoyer les fûts vides car les résidus de produits après séchage nécessiteraient l'emploi de solvants puissants et nocifs au cours d'opérations longues, le tout entraînant des frais prohibitifs.It is indeed impossible, in practice, to clean the empty drums because the residues of products after drying would require the use of powerful and harmful solvents during long operations, all involving prohibitive costs.
Les fûts vides constituent eux-mêmes des déchets très polluants et leur destruction coûte très cher.Empty drums themselves are highly polluting waste and their destruction is very expensive.
On connaît, par ailleurs, des contenants formés d'un sac flexible placé dans une enveloppe extérieure rigide, mais la mise en place du sac, les transbordements de l'ensemble, le vidage du sac par inclinaison de l'ensemble et le réemploi du sac supposent qu'il soit robuste. Généralement, ce sac est réalisé à partir d'une gaine en matière plastique qui doit être épaisse, ce qui présente des inconvénients non seulement en raison de son prix mais également pour son usage.Containers formed of a flexible bag placed in a rigid outer casing are known, but the introduction of the bag, the transhipments of the whole, the emptying of the bag by inclination of the whole and the reuse of the bag assume it is sturdy. Generally, this bag is made from a plastic sheath that must be thick, which has disadvantages not only because of its price but also for its use.
Après remplissage du sac, son ouverture est scellée car la rigidité du sac est telle que pendant le transport de l'ensemble, ses bords s'ils étaient simplement repliés, auraient tendance à se rouvrir à cause du « nerf » de la matière synthétique.After filling the bag, its opening is sealed because the rigidity of the bag is such that during transport of the assembly, its edges if they were simply folded, would tend to reopen because of the "nerve" of the synthetic material.
Pour la même raison, il n'est pas possible de rabattre le bord du sac sur le bord de l'enveloppe, soit pour remplir la sac déjà placé dans l'enveloppe, soit pour vider le contenu par pompage. D'ailleurs, le sac étant toujours scellé, on l'ouvre en le découpant avec une lame de couteau ou analogue, ce qui est incompatible avec la garantie de disposer d'un bord de sac suffisamment long pour recouvrir extérieurement l'enveloppe et la protéger.For the same reason, it is not possible to fold the edge of the bag on the edge of the envelope, either to fill the bag already placed in the envelope, or to empty the contents by pumping. Moreover, the bag is always sealed, it is opened by cutting with a knife blade or the like, which is incompatible with the guarantee of having a bag edge long enough to cover the outer envelope and the protect.
C'est pourquoi les contenants de ce type, connus sous le nom de « bag-in-barrel », sont souvent destinés à être vidés en une seule fois par renversement.This is why containers of this type, known as "bag-in-barrel", are often intended to be emptied at one time by overturning.
On connaît par exemple le document GB 2279058 qui décrit une machine relativement complexe pour lever un fût de grande capacité, le renverser et le vider.For example, GB 2279058 is known which discloses a relatively complex machine for lifting a large capacity drum, overturning it and emptying it.
Le document DE 19544806 concerne un seau de peinture de 3, 5 ou 10 litres. S'agissant de petits récipients devant être utilisés manuellement, ce document décrit la manière de placer le sac dans le seau, car il s'agit d'une opération industrielle, sans décrire un procédé particulier nécessaire pour prélever le contenu.DE 19544806 relates to a bucket of paint of 3, 5 or 10 liters. In the case of small containers to be used manually, this document describes how to place the bag in the bucket, as it is an industrial operation, without describing a particular method necessary to take the contents.
La présente invention concerne une procédé nouveau, permettant de garder propres les fûts d'origine, intérieurement et extérieurement, et de les réutiliser en l'état, du fait qu'ils ne sont pas souillés, ce procédé permettant en outre une utilisation quasi intégrale du produit, ce qui évite des pertes importantes.The present invention relates to a novel process, to keep the original drums clean, internally and externally, and to reuse them as they are, because they are not soiled, this method also allowing almost complete use product, which avoids significant losses.
A cette fin, l'invention a pour objet un procédé selon la revendication 1.To this end, the subject of the invention is a process according to claim 1.
L'invention sera mieux comprise par la description détaillée ci-dessous faite en référence au dessin annexé. Bien entendu, la description et le dessin ne sont donnés qu'à titre d'exemple indicatif et non limitatif.

En se reportant aux figures 1 à 4, on voit qu'un contenant conforme à l'invention comprend deux parties, à savoir un sac 10 en matière plastique et une enveloppe robuste 20.Referring to Figures 1 to 4, it is seen that a container according to the invention comprises two parts, namely a
Le sac 10 a une embouchure 11 libre et l'enveloppe 20 a un couvercle amovible 21.The
L'enveloppe 20 a un fond 22 et des parois 23 dont la hauteur h est inférieure à la hauteur H du sac 10, afin que le bord 12 de l'embouchure 11 dépasse le bord 24 de l'enveloppe 20.The
L'enveloppe 20 représentée ici est un fût métallique standard d'une capacité utile de 200 litres et c'est donc la hauteur H du sac qu'il faut adapter à celle h du fût 20 qui est constante, car il est, en revanche, très facile de déterminer la hauteur H lors de la fabrication du sac10.The
Il en est de même, d'ailleurs, du diamètre de la gaine à partir de laquelle on obtient le sac 10 selon un procédé bien connu en soi, car l'espace intérieur du fût 20 est aussi intangible que sa hauteur.It is the same, moreover, the diameter of the sheath from which the
Pour remplir le contenant, on place d'abord le sac 10 dans le fût 20 (figure 2) en dégageant l'embouchure 11 afin qu'elle reste bien ouverte. Comme représenté, on retourne le haut du sac 10 pour qu'il puisse se placer à l'extérieur du fût 20, en recouvrant le bord 24, ce qui a le triple avantage de maintenir le sac 10 déployé, de maintenir l'embouchure 11 ouverte et d'empêcher toute souillure de pénétrer entre le sac 10 et le fût 20, ou plus généralement de couler à l'extérieur du fût 20.To fill the container, we first place the
Le sac 10 est choisi uniquement pour son étanchéité, c'est-à-dire pour sa capacité à isoler le produit à emballer B du fût 20, car il n'est pas nécessaire qu'il possède à lui seul une grande résistance puisqu'il prend appui sur l'intérieur du fût 20, lequel est extrêmement robuste et rigide et qu'en outre il n'est pas destiné à être réutilisé.The
Le sac 10 doit seulement être peu sensible aux brutalités accidentelles pouvant être occasionnées par les manipulations et par les opérations de remplissage susceptibles de provoquer des coupures ou des déchirures.The
Si le sac 10 est bien calibré par rapport au fût 20, il ne doit pas se produire de mouvements relatifs entre eux car le sac 10 est fortement appliqué contre les parois 23 par le poids même de son contenu.If the
En se reportant à la figure 3, on voit une buse de remplissage A qui a été abaissée dans le contenant avant l'arrivée du produit B, afin d'éviter que celui-ci n'arrive violemment contre le fond du sac 10 encore vide, car celui-ci pourrait être brutalement entraîné vers le fond du fût, raison pour laquelle il est important de maintenir le sac 10 non seulement ouvert mais également à bonne hauteur.Referring to Figure 3, we see a filling nozzle A which has been lowered into the container before the arrival of the product B, to prevent it from violently against the bottom of the
Au fur et à mesure que le niveau de produit B s'élève dans le contenant, la buse A est remontée, comme cela est bien connu en soi, et le remplissage est arrêté quand le niveau de produit a atteint une valeur telle qu'il est possible de replier la partie supérieure du sac 10 sur elle-même et ainsi de « fermer » le sac sans le sceller, comme cela est représenté sur la figure 4, après quoi on met en place le couvercle 21 et on le fixe solidement.As the level of product B rises in the container, the nozzle A is raised, as is well known per se, and the filling is stopped when the product level has reached a value such that it is possible to fold the upper part of the
Le repliement du haut du sac 10 est utile pour empêcher que les chaos dus au transport ne provoque des débordements de produits hors du sac 10 et, donc, dans le fût 20 mais son scellement est inutile car on ne change pas l'orientation de l'ensemble sac 10 - fût 20, depuis la mise en place du sac, son remplissage, la fermeture du fût, son transport, son ouverture et jusqu'à l'extraction du contenu B.The folding of the top of the
Une autre solution équivalente, consiste à laisser le bord du sac 10 rabattu sur le bord 24 du fût 20 et de le coincer ainsi. L'avantage de cette solution est de simplifier les manipulations puisque lors du retrait du couvercle 21, le sac 10 est déjà ouvert.Another equivalent solution consists in leaving the edge of the
En revanche, le dessous du couvercle 21 peut être souillé par des éclaboussures du produit B, auquel cas, il faut placer une feuille de protection en matière plastique entre le dessus du produit B et le dessous du couvercle 21.On the other hand, the underside of the
Le diamètre extérieur du couvercle 21 devant se placer à l'intérieur du fût 20, il faut tenir compte de l'épaisseur (même minime) du sac 10 pour éviter la déchirure de ce dernier par le couvercle 21 lui-même lorsqu'on le met en place.The outer diameter of the
Pour certains produits, il est possible de placer une cale entre le dessus du sac 10 fermé et le dessous du couvercle 21 afin de s'opposer aux mouvements du produit B pendant le transport.For some products, it is possible to place a shim between the top of the
Tel qu'il est représenté sur la figure 4, le contenant conforme à l'invention est prêt à être stocké puis transporté et livré au destinataire.As shown in Figure 4, the container according to the invention is ready to be stored and transported and delivered to the recipient.
En se reportant à la figure 5, on voit comment le contenant terminé de la figure 4 est utilisé.Referring to Figure 5, we see how the finished container of Figure 4 is used.
Il est transporté jusqu'au lieu d'utilisation dans son orientation d'origine, ce qui est symbolisé par la flèche F1, puis on retire le couvercle 21, puis on déplie les bords du sac 10 que l'on rabat à l'extérieur du fût 20 par dessus le bord 24, puis on plonge dans le produit B une canne d'aspiration C reliée par un tuyau D à l'entrée d'une pompe E. A la sortie de celle-ci, est branché un flexible F aboutissant à un pistolet G.It is transported to the place of use in its original orientation, which is symbolized by the arrow F1, then the
L'installation par laquelle le produit B est prélevé à l'intérieur du contenant ne fait pas partie de l'invention et ce qui vient d'être décrit est purement indicatif et se rapporte essentiellement à l'application de l'invention à la mise en place de peintures, enduits et revêtements dans le domaine du bâtiment, ce qui est une possibilité parmi d'autres.The installation by which the product B is taken from inside the container does not form part of the invention and what has just been described is purely indicative and essentially relates to the application of the invention to the setting in place of paints, coatings and coatings in the field of building, which is one possibility among others.
Lorsque le contenant ne contient plus assez de produit B pour que celui-ci puisse être prélevé normalement, on retire la canne d'aspiration C, puis on extrait le sac 10 selon la flèche F2 (Figure 6) et on l'amène, comme évoqué par la flèche F3, à une calandre 30 comprenant deux rouleaux 31 et 32 mis en mouvement par une manivelle 33.When the container no longer contains enough product B so that it can be taken normally, the suction rod C is removed, then the
On introduit le sac 10 par son fond entre les deux rouleaux 31 et 32 et on agit sur la manivelle 33 pour entraîner les rouleaux dans le sens des flèches F4 et F5, ce qui oblige le sac 10 à se déplacer selon la flèche F6 et à passer tout entier entre les rouleaux 31 et 32 dont l'écartement minime provoque un écrasement du sac 10 et la poussée énergique des restes du produit B vers l'embouchure du sac 10, restes qui sont soit été laissés dans le fond du sac 10 faute d'avoir pu les prélever, soit collés aux parois du sac 10.The
Ces restes sont recueillis dans un petit récipient 34 pour être utilisés au lieu d'être détruits comme c'est le cas actuellement. Pour cela, on peut utiliser directement ces restes (au pinceau, au rouleau ou à la spatule lorsqu'il s'agit de restes d'un produit pour le bâtiment) ou bien les transvaser dans un sac 10 qui vient d'être ouvert afin de les récupérer pour les utiliser. Le sac 10 qui ne contient réellement plus rien de récupérable est éliminé selon la flèche symbolique F7.These remains are collected in a
Le fût 20 débarrassé du sac 10 est resté parfaitement propre et peut être réutilisé indéfiniment.The
On lui remet son couvercle 21 et il est renvoyé selon la flèche F8 au lieu de remplissage pour une autre utilisation avec un nouveau sac 10 non encore utilisé, car si le fût reste toujours intact et disponible, le sac 10 lui ne sert qu'une seule fois.It is returned to its
On observe que la récupération des restes empêche le gaspillage mais permet aussi de lutter contre la pollution, du fait que l'on ne détruit plus les fûts et ce qu'ils contiennent encore de produits plus ou moins dangereux, et que lors de la destruction des sacs, ceux-ci ne contiennent qu'une quantité infime de ces produits dangereux ou nocifs.It is observed that the recovery of the remains prevents waste but also makes it possible to fight against pollution, because the barrels are no longer destroyed and what they still contain more or less dangerous products, and that during the destruction bags, these contain only a tiny amount of these dangerous or harmful products.
L'invention prévoit une disposition spécifique lorsque le produit B doit être soumis à l'action d'un agitateur, d'un mélangeur ou d'un malaxeur.The invention provides a specific provision when the product B must be subjected to the action of a stirrer, a mixer or a kneader.
Cela peut être le cas lorsque le produit B est un mélange peu stable, dont les composants se séparent et s'étagent, les produits les plus lourds tendent à tomber dans le fond alors que les composants les plus légers ont tendance à surnager.This may be the case when the product B is an unstable mixture, the components of which separate and lay out, the heavier products tend to fall to the bottom while the lighter components tend to float.
C'est également le cas lorsque le produit B livré dans le contenant conforme à l'invention est une base standard (par exemple de la peinture blanche) à laquelle on doit ajouter des colorants sur le site d'utilisation.This is also the case when the product B delivered in the container according to the invention is a standard base (for example white paint) to which dyes must be added at the site of use.
Il faut alors utiliser un agitateur afin de bien homogénéiser le mélange.It is then necessary to use an agitator in order to homogenize the mixture well.
Avec un fût banal, le mélangeur est de type courant, comprenant un manche à la base duquel se trouve une hélice entraînée par un petit moteur électrique.With a common bale, the mixer is of the current type, comprising a handle at the base of which is a propeller driven by a small electric motor.
Cet appareil ne peut pas être utilisé facilement pour un contenant conforme à l'invention car l'agitateur plongé dans la masse du produit B doit être manipulé et déplacé vers la périphérie où se trouve le sac 10. Celui-ci est parfaitement adapté à isoler un produit et est utilisé dans des conditions telles qu'il résiste aux mouvements du produit B mais il n'est pas conçu pour résister aux déchirures que l'hélice du mélangeur pourrait provoquer quand elle entre en contact avec lui.This apparatus can not be easily used for a container according to the invention because the agitator immersed in the mass of the product B must be manipulated and moved to the periphery where the
Afin de pouvoir à la fois utiliser un contenant formé d'un fût extérieur 20 et d'un sac intérieur 10, et assurer un bon mélange, l'invention prévoit un agitateur particulier qui est représenté sur la figure 7.In order to be able both to use a container formed of an
Naturellement, cette figure est schématique et volontairement générique car l'invention s'applique à tous les agitateurs, qu'il soient purement manuels ou qu'ils soient mécaniques et possèdent un organe en mouvement ou à tout le moins agressif pour le sac 10.Naturally, this figure is schematic and intentionally generic because the invention applies to all agitators, whether purely manual or mechanical and have a moving body or at least aggressive for the
On voit que l'agitateur 40 représenté comprend un élément central, ou manche, 41 portant un moteur électrique 42 relié cinématiquement à un axe (non visibles sur le dessin) sur lequel est calée une hélice 43.It can be seen that the
Selon l'invention, cette hélice est entourée d'un élément protecteur qui est formé ici d'un anneau fixe 44 disposé au-delà du cercle virtuel que parcourent les extrémités des pales de l'hélice 43 en rotation et qui est maintenu en place par des bras de support 45 fixés au manche 41.According to the invention, this helix is surrounded by a protective element which is formed here of a fixed
Un tel anneau rappelle celui qui est associé à des hélices de bateaux, comme cela est connu en soi.Such a ring is reminiscent of the one associated with boat propellers, as is known per se.
La hauteur I de l'anneau doit être suffisante pour que ledit anneau 44 vienne en butée contre le fond du sac 10 et empêche ainsi tout contact entre le fond du sac 10 et l'hélice 43 en rotation.The height I of the ring must be sufficient for said
Le sac 10 proprement dit, le long de la paroi cylindrique du fût 20, est également protégé de toute agression de l'hélice 43 par la surface latérale de l'anneau 44 lui-même.The
Il est alors possible de procéder à tout mélange ou malaxage voulu, sans précaution particulière, malgré la présence du sac fragile 10.It is then possible to proceed to any mixing or mixing required, without special precautions, despite the presence of the
L'élément protecteur peut être de tout type voulu différent de l'anneau 44 décrit ici. Par exemple, il peut s'agir d'une cloche en treillage ou percée de trous, ou de plusieurs anneaux angulairement décalés, l'important étant de permettre les mouvements du produit B et d'assurer simultanément la protection du sac 10.The protective element may be of any desired type different from the
Claims (6)
- Process for use of viscous products such as oils, greases, tars and bitumens, paints, varnishes and coatings, providing a sealed bag placed in a rigid outer envelope, characterised in that a sealed and flexible bag (10) is selected of insufficient strength to be re-usable and to resist the forces due to the weight of the product (B) and/or stresses of storage and transport, that the bag (10) is placed freely i.e. without fixing in a rigid and robust drum (20) which is suitable for prolonged use but unsuitable for containing the product (B) repeatedly since it cannot be completely cleaned and cleared of residue of product (B), the drum (20) having a base (22), vertical walls (23) and an upper opening, the edge (24) of which comprises the end of walls (23), that the bag (10) is held in the drum (20) so that its edge (12) protrudes over the edge (24), that the bag (10) is held open, that the product (B) is poured into the bag (10) up to a level lower than that of the edge (24), that the edge (12) of the bag (10) is folded over the product (B) without closing the bag (10), then after possible storage the assembly of full bag (10) - drum (20) in the orientation the assembly had during filling is transported to a place of use of the product (B) where it is left still in the same orientation, then the folds of the bag (10) are unfolded to give access to the product (B) via the upper opening, that the product (B) is extracted in one or more pumping operations until the bag (10) is practically empty, that the bag (10) is then withdrawn from the drum (20), the flattened bag (10) is then passed base first through a calender (30) to extract the residue of product (B), that this residue is then collected in a recipient (34), that the bag (10) is eliminated and the empty drum (20) returned to the site of introduction of a new bag (10) with a view to filling this new bag (10) and re-use.
- Method according to claim 1, characterised in that after having folded the edge (12) of the bag (10), a cover (21) is placed on the edge (24) of the drum (20) to close it.
- Method according to claim 2, characterised in that after having transported the assembly (10-B-20) to the site of use of the product (B), the cover (21) is removed, the folds of the bag (10) are unfolded, into the product (B) is immersed at least one rigid pipe (C) linked to a tube (D) opening into the inlet of a pump (E), the outlet of which is linked to a hose (F) fitted with a gun (G) or other distribution means.
- Container for implementation of the method according to any of claims 1 to 3, characterised in that the bag (10), in particular made of synthetic material, is sealed, flexible and has insufficient strength to be re-usable and to resist the forces due to the weight of the product (B) and/or the stresses of storage and transport, and in that the rigid and robust drum (20) for prolonged use has a base (22) and walls (23) limited by an upper edge (24) situated in their extension, the height (h) of which is less than the height (H) of the bag (10), so that the edge (12) of the bag (10) full of product (B) and placed in the drum (20) can be folded over itself above the product (B) without closure or seal, the drum (20) being possibly associated with a removable cover (21).
- Container according to claim 4, characterised in that the drum (20) is a metal drum.
- Container according to claim 4, characterised in that it is associated firstly with a mixer (40) that is fitted with a protector element (44) of soft form before being interposed between the mixer (40) itself and the bag (10), and secondly with a pipe linked to a pump so that the content (B) of the bag (10) can be extracted from the bag (10) by aspiration, without modifying the orientation of the assembly of bag (10) - drum (20).
