Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to unloading and storage systems, and, more particularly, to an integrated, compact, multistation unloading and storage system for use primarily with powdered products.
  • Small scale production facilities commonly use powdered products that are shipped in small bags, or small drums, including drums having a liquid volume of between 20 and 200 litres, or more.
  • the bags are often made of plastic or paper, or the drum, which can often be made of steel, aluminum, plastic, or even fibrous paper materials, and can have a plastic inner liner (or plastic bag) in which the powdered material is held.
  • the powdered material is typically transferred from the bag or the drum to a storage hopper where it is dispensed as needed in the production process.
  • Slightly larger small scale production facilities (which can handle larger volumes), can also receive product in larger drums, or even in "bulk bags" (for example, a large bag of a cubic meter in size).
  • One option available for dust collection is the use of a separate "glove box” (e.g. a sealed cabinet having access to its interior by using sealed gloves) for each material.
  • a separate "glove box” e.g. a sealed cabinet having access to its interior by using sealed gloves
  • the material to be transferred is unloaded from its shipping container, each in a separate and dedicated glove box, into a separate storage bin.
  • the product is transferred by gravity, and the storage bin can include a weighing device to measure the amount of product transferred.
  • the present invention provides a powdered product unloading and storage system and apparatus that can unload, store and discharge a number of different, and possibly hazardous powdered materials to a plurality of different storage hoppers. Further, the device prevents, minimizes or ameliorates the release of powdered material or dust to the atmosphere, or to the area outside of the apparatus.
  • the apparatus contains the hazardous air born dust or particles inside the device while unloading from a container and while distributing the material to the correct storage container.
  • the apparatus can include load cells to measure transfer weights, and from the storage hopper, the different ingredients can be discharged to a batch or continuous weighing system or addition to the facility production system.
  • the system and apparatus of the present invention is particularly well suited for applications requiring the addition of multiple, and possibly hazardous, powder ingredients in small quantities
  • An exemplary implementation of the unloading and storage apparatus of the present invention first comprises a product unloading device, which preferably comprises a single, preferably sealed cabinet, such as a glove box, for holding, accessing, and unloading the contents of a product container into the product unloading device, wherein the product unloading device includes a system for minimizing, ameliorating or eliminating the release of dust to the atmosphere
  • the product unloading device can also comprise a system for unloading of plastic or paper bags of material, in a cabinet, or a mechanism to unload a bulk bag directly to the storage apparatus
  • the apparatus of the present invention comprises a rotary spout which receives, dispenses and/or directs the product entering into the product unloading device to a preselected storage hopper selected from a plurality of storage hoppers
  • the rotary spout preferably has a upper opening at an upper end which upper opening is centred around an axis or rotation
  • One side wall of the rotary spout is preferably angled so as to allow product to slide by gravity along the inner wall of the spout
  • the lower opening of the rotary spout rotates around a center of rotation which is offset from the central axis of the lower opening
  • the position of the lower opening will move around to transcribe a circle around the center of rotation of the upper opening of the rotary (or rotatable) spout
  • the position of the upper opening remains essentially in a constant position (other than rotating)
  • Other arrangements for the rotatable spout can be provided depending on the nature of the installation For example, in more confined areas, an essentially horizontal rotatable spout could be provided by using a screw feeder to move the product along an essentially horizontal chute, or a vibrating or moveable belt or bed, might also be used
  • the apparatus of the present invention provides a plurality of storage hoppers, the loading openings of which are preferably all completely positioned within a closed or filtered environment such that release of product to the atmosphere is reduced, ameliorated, or eliminated
  • the loading openings to the storage hoppers are preferably greater in size than the lower opening of the rotary spout. In one preferred embodiment, however, the tops of the storage hoppers are completely uncovered, so that the loading opening is the size of the top of the storage hopper.
  • the storage hoppers are contiguous one to one another.
  • the storage hoppers are located in a circular pattern around the rotary spout.
  • the storage hoppers can vary in size, but in one preferred embodiment, the storage hoppers are identical in size and shape, and are located in a circular pattern around the rotary spout.
  • the loading openings of the storage hoppers are arranged in a circular pattern around the circle transcribed by the movement of the lower rotary spout opening.
  • the positioning of the lower opening of the rotary spout can be positioned manually, but preferably is positioned and controlled by a computer operated system to avoid accidental loading of a material into an incorrect storage hopper.
  • the contiguous loading openings of adjacent storage hoppers are divided by a narrow ridge which passes between the storage hoppers.
  • the narrow ridge is a ridge of material which is sufficiently strong to resist movement, but which is sufficiently thin to prevent or ameliorate the collection of powdered material on the ridge.
  • joined plates of 1 cm steel plate would provide a suitable narrow ridge.
  • the openings of the storage hoppers, as well as the area wherein the lower opening of the rotary spout is position, are preferably contained within a housing which prevents the escape of dust or material from the housing.
  • the housing is preferably vented through a dust collection system to prevent the release of dust from the system.
  • the housing and the storage hoppers can be provided with humidity control systems such as by providing an air exchange system which dries the air. This allows hygroscopic materials to be stored in the hopper(s). Further, the storage hoppers and/or housing can be fitted with explosive resistant covers that will minimize any damage if an explosive material is stored within the apparatus of the present invention.
