Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container evacuation arrangement.
  • the present invention relates to a container evacuation arrangement for evacuation of bulk flowable materials in intermediate bulk containers.
  • Viscous, greasy, flowable materials including powders are generally transported in containers having a rigid exterior frame and a flexible interior pocket.
  • the interior pocket normally contains a top mounted inlet and a side mounted drain. The pocket is thus filled from the top inlet, which is capped for transportation and storage.
  • the drain is opened and the material is allowed to flow out of the container through the drain.
  • a mechanism is provided to force the viscous material out of the container through the drain.
  • Examples include a double chamber whereby air is pumped into a first chamber to force the viscous material out of an adjacent second chamber.
  • US Patent 6,234,351 discloses a pillow bag which is modified to include an air input port that allows inflation of an interply region of the bag . As the interply region inflates, an inner ply rises and becomes an advancing wall, raising the bulk material level in the bag, inclining the bottom of the bag, and pulling excess material away from the drain port all at the same time.
  • the pillow bag is made with half the initial number of layers folded in half to create the upper and lower plies and the non-fold edges are bonded.
  • the bag can be arranged so that an interlayer bond parallel to the fold is parallel to a diagonal of a tote in which the bag sits and so that the interlayer bond is opposite the drain port to enhance bag evacuation.
  • An additional optional feature of the invention is the inclusion of an integral filling conduit or snout on the top of the bag, a mouth of which acts as a fill port to ease filling of the bag .
  • the invention can also be applied to fitted bags.

  • the system includes a weldment which curves around at least a portion of the drain to create a funnel which focuses flowable material toward the drain, while reducing the likelihood of a portion of the flexible containment system from obstructing the movement of flowable material out of the first pocket through the drain.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur un agencement d'évacuation de contenant, comprenant un contenant souple composé d'au moins deux couches, chacune étant composée de quatre plaques de forme polygonale et comprenant une première poche souple conçue pour recevoir un matériau liquide et une seconde poche souple en communication fluidique étanche avec la première poche souple. La première poche souple possède une entrée et/ou un entonnoir et un drain, alors que la seconde poche souple est équipée d'un orifice de remplissage. Le contenant souple est porté par un cadre rigide.
