  • the tank body 1 is designed to be filled inside with fluids including liquid or gas, powders such as flour, or grain such as rice or beans (hereinafter genericly called “fillers”), and the inside of the said tank body 1 is divided with a separating wall 2 horizontally to form an upper chamber 11 and a lower chamber 12 .
  • the upper chamber 11 and the lower chamber 12 are in such a state as filled with fillers.
  • the tank body 1 is a sealed tank, and may be made of either synthetic resin or metal, and more preferably made of a material resistant to corrosion due to the fillers filled with inside. As corrosion resistance can be realized by means of coating, lining, etc, a steel-made tank may also be applicable.
  • the form of crosscut section of the tank body 1 may be multi-angular, round or in any other voluntary shapes.
  • the separating wall 2 is movable upward and downward as shown in FIG. 1 is important in this invention.
  • the separating wall 2 consists of a base plate 21 of multi-angular or round form and a slidable sheet 22 , and the one end of the said slidable sheet 22 is fixed on an peripheral end of the said base plate 21 and the other end is fixed on the inside walls 13 of the tank body 1 .
  • the base plate 21 consists of a flat board of multi-angular or round form similar to that of the crosscut section of the tank body 1 , and its outside diameter is designed to be smaller than the inside diameter of the tank body 1 to provide a given length of the gap between the periphery of the said base plate 21 and the inside wall 13 of the tank body 1 .
  • the material of this base plate 21 may be synthetic resin such as hard vinyl chloride resin or stainless metal, or may be the one surface-coated with vinyl chloride resin or fluorocarbon resin, or a rubber-lined metal.

  • the slidable sheet 22 is installed to range between the inside walls 13 of the tank body 1 and the periphery of the base plate 21 .
  • Fillers to be filled with in the tank body 1 include reducing liquids such as sodium sulfite; pH controllers such as caustic soda, sulfuric acid, and calcium hydroxide; chemicals such as polymer coagulant and inorganic coagulant; pressurized liquids such as carbonated beverages, liquids such as drinking water, purified water, and petroleum; fluids including various gases; powders such as flour; or grain such as rice and beans.
  • reducing liquids can benefit better from the advantage of keeping the fillers away from contacting air as a feature of this invention.
  • the fillers to be filled with in the upper chamber 11 and the lower chamber 12 may be different each other, but it is more preferable that they are the same, because either of them can be used as a stand-by of the other.
  • sodium sulfite (reducing liquid) is filled with in the tank shown in FIG. 1 is described as follows: Firstly, sodium sulfite is filled with in the upper chamber 11 through an inlet line 100 . Secondly, sodium sulfite is filled with in the lower chamber 12 through an inlet line 200 . Thus, the tank body 1 is filled with sodium sulfite.
  • a pump (not shown in the Figure) connected to an outlet line 201 is actuated, if the sodium sulfite in the lower chamber 12 is used as a pH controller, for example.
  • the sodium sulfite in the lower chamber 12 is consumed, the separating wall 2 gradually falls, and the volume of the lower chamber 12 relatively decreases. That is, the sodium sulfite in the lower chamber 12 becomes smaller in quantity.
  • the upper chamber 11 is supplemented with sodium sulfite in the same quantity as is decreased in the lower chamber 12 . That is, the more the lower chamber 12 loses the filler, the more the upper chamber 11 is supplemented with the filler proportionally.
  • the upper chamber 11 is also equipped with an outlet line 101 , through which sodium sulfite in the upper chamber 11 can be discharged.
  • the sodium sulfite does not contact air, and therefore there occurs no deterioration due to oxidation.
  • the liquid in the upper chamber 11 can be used as a stand-by, if the liquid in the lower chamber 12 has been used up, and no deterioration due to oxidation occurs even during a continuous feeding.
  • the tank is filled with the same kind of liquid, and therefore, there occurs no change in the vertical load of the tank itself even if the liquid is sent out.
  • This is very helpful in designing the foundation of the tank, while the design of the foundation of the tank would be very difficult, if the vertical load fluctuates.
  • cracks or damage on the foundation of the tank, which is often caused by the fluctuation of the vertical load, can be avoided.
  • the lower chamber 12 is supplemented with the liquid in the same quantity as that sent out from the chamber 11 , and therefore, there is no chance to the liquid in the chamber 11 of contacting air, while the liquid in the upper chamber 11 is sent out.
  • the liquid in the upper chamber 11 can also be continuously sent out without being deteriorated due to oxidation.
  • the base plate 21 may be provided with a float (not shown in the Figure) on the upper face and/or lower face, or the base plate 21 itself may be a float. Such a float may be so constituted as to be fed with air from the outside of the tank body 1 to be filled with air, as required.

  • FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the fluid, powder or grain feed tank according to this invention. Explanations of letters or numerals therein are omitted, since the parts with the same letters or numerals in FIG. 2 as in FIG. 1 have the same constitution with FIG. 1 .
  • the direction of the separating wall 2 within the tank body 1 in this embodiment is upward and downward, and therefore, the separating wall 2 is designed to be movable from side to side.
  • the filler to be filled with may be fluid, powder, or grain, however, a remarkable effect can be obtained when the filler is powder.
  • hopper-type facilities are typically adopted for feeding powder.
  • the especially important point of hopper type is the tilt angles of the bottom portion of hoppers. If the tilt angles are obtuse, the powder may be hard to fall because the powder gets solid. If the tilt angles are acute, the hopper has to be taller, leading to a higher cost for its installation.
  • a factor disturbing a smooth powder fall is the contact of the powder with air. This contact cannot be avoided for the hopper-type. As the powder decreases in the hopper, the space in the upper portion of the hopper expands, wherein the powder contacts air and absorbs moisture contained in the air to become apt to form powder blocks. This absorption of moisture disturbs the fall of the powder off the hopper.
  • the inside of the tank body 1 is divided with the separating wall 2 into a left chamber 110 and a right chamber 111 , and the both chambers are filled with powder, and while the powder is sent out, the powder is kept away from contacting air. This prevents the powder from absorbing the moisture contained in the air to enable a smooth feeding of the powder. There is no invasion of foreign matters, neither.
  • the purpose of making the direction of the separating wall 2 up and down is to prevent the powder from solidification due to compaction.
  • the tank body 1 is divided into the two chambers by means of fixing the other end of the slidable sheet 22 constituting the separating wall 2 to the inside walls of the tank body 1 , but this type of embodiment is not essential, if the tank body 1 can be divided into two chambers in any other way.
