A pot extends centrally below the hopper, forms a continuation of the hopper and has a porous aerated base and a lateral material outlet. A central vertical standpipe in the container is provided with a nozzle for discharging compressed air into the lower end of the standpipe.
6 Claims, 1 Drawing Figure CONTAINER FOR HOLDING FINE MATERIAL BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a container for holding fine granular material, having in itslower part a hopper with an aerated porous wall, and a similarly aerated porous central base, and also provided with a centrally disposed standpipe with its lower aperture lying above the central base,lwith a compressed air nozzle passing through the base, and openings for feeding material into and out of the container.
A container for mixing fine. material is known which comprises a cylindrical portion, a lower hopper portion and a standpipe passing upwardly through-the container from the hopper..At the upper and lower edges of the container are annular pipes with inwardly directed slot nozzles. A centrifugal dust separator is disposed on the'container above the inlet aperture, The annular pipes are connected directly or through the separator to a blower. Mixing is effected by blowing compressed air through the lower annular pipe, which constantly forces part of the fine material through the st'arrdpipe, so causing circulation and mixingA disadvantage of this 'cont'ainer'is the relatively great height 'due to the superimposed separator.
A further .disadvantage is that the simple hopper construction only enables readily flowing material to be mixed. Less readily flowable material rapidly leads to formation of bridges, which cannot be fully prevented by installing vibrators.
A container for the mixing of ground and pulverulent material is also known, containing several standpipes passing in very varied arrangements and directions from the base area A of the container (or possibly its hopper) through to the top part of the container. Compressed air is fed from below into the container either through individual nozzles or' through a porous air-permeable base. The material fed into thetop of the container is mixed in similar manner to that in the previously described container, and is then fed into the container base area. The chief disadvantage'of this mixing container is the complicated and costly structure due to the plurality of standpipes. Y L w V A container for holding fine-grained material is also known, having in its lower portion a hopper with an aerated porous wall and a similarly aerated porous central base, also having :a
centrally disposed standpipe. with its lower aperture lying abovethe central base, with acompressed airnozzle passing I through the base and'openin'gs for feeding material into and out of thexcontainer. This'container is a feed'contaiher whose s'tandpipe' passes as'a feed' conduit through'the container cover, and whose porouscentral base is directlyadjacent the lower edge of the hopper. The mouth cross section of the downwardly widening standpipe is approximately that of the' central base,.above which the-lower end of the standpipe is disposed at some distance. if this feed container had to be converted into a mixing container, an outlet for material would have to be provided in the lower hopper portion. But this would involve difficulties due to the relative position of the lower part of the standpipe and the central base, and to the shape of the lower part vof the hopper. Since part of the column of material would constantly press onto the hopper outlet, and no loosening of the material would occur there, un
desirable agglomerations of material would occur in that area of the hopper.
SUMMARY or THE INVENTION The object of the invention is thus to provide a container of i the type described which eliminates the defects found in known constructions, and permits effective homogenization even of material difficult to fluldize.
According to the invention, this object is achieved in that in the container, whose standpipe ends in a known manner in the upper part of the container, there is provided between the lower edge of the hopper and thecentral base a pot whose narrowest cross section maylie in the area of the lower edge of the hopper, and whose sidewall contains the material outlet.
Thus hardly any amount of material loads the material outlet in the container provided by the invention. Instead the entire surface on which the material rests (i.e., the hopper and the central base) can be aerated. In this way the whole column of material is fluidized and moves uniformly down into the pot. The fluidized material is uniformly conveyed to the top part of the container by the effect of the compressed air noz zle in the standpipe, and effective homogenization is achieved by this uninterrupted circulation. The finally mixed material runs smoothly out of the container through the material outlet in the sidewall of the pot, unaffected by the column of material and without tending to form bridges in'the hopper.
' BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The drawing is a diagrammatic sectional view of a container embodying the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 5 The wall 14 of the hopper 3 is porous and air-permeableand has several compressed. air inlets 15. The lower edge ,3af-1of hopper -3 terminates .in the cylindrically shaped pot 4, whose sidewall has a downwardly'directed material outlet pipe 16. The pot 4 is bounded below by the porous central base 6, which has the shape of a flat hopper and is provided with ,a compressed air inlet pipe 18. The compressed air nozzle 5, connected to a compressed-air conduit 17, projects into the lower end of standpipe 7 located inside pot 4.
, The homogenizing container provided by the invention operates asfollows: A Y i if The'fine-grai'ned material entering centrally through material inlet pipe 9 falls onto the top of cone 13a of guide member 13, and is uniformly distributedinside'containe'r 1. 'After'the container is filled, compressed air is blown through conduit 17 and compressed'airnozzles into standpipe 7. The column of material is loosened and'iluidized by 'the aeration of hopper I} fron w'all Id and the introductiotl'ofair through the central porous base 6 Ther'naterial fedlin'topotst is entrained by the airstream issuing from the nozzle5 and is'conveyed' through standpipe '7 into the upper part of the'containenwhere it emergesfrom the mouth 1 I of the standpipe located above the material surface 19, and is again distributed uniformlyinto the container by part 13b. of guide member 13. The material constantly slips downwards at the rate at which it enters the standpipe from pot 4. The intensive aeration and the inclination (angle a) of the sidewall of the hopper 3 to the horizohtal also contribute to'the effective downward movement of material. The angle a is between 35 and preferably in the narrow range between 45 and 60 The continuous circulation of the loosened material within the container leads to a very intimate homogenization of the material, which is then smoothly removed through ,materlal Outlet l6.'ln principle it is also possible for introduction of material into the container, homogenization, and extraction of material from the container to be carried out continun/usly, In
which it is extracted through outlet 16.
this case, after the initial contents of the container ha e been homogenized, material is continuously fed in at the rateat the pot 4 below the hopper has a frustoconical shape which broadens downwardly. The central base 6 need not have the shape of a flat hopper, but could be made flat, in a plane normal to the container axis.
In many applications of the container of the present invention, it is also advantageous if means for testing the filling level are provided in the container walls.
