Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transporting highly dispersed powders and a method for their filling and emptying.
  • EP-A 0 773 159 discloses a method for repeatedly filling and emptying with pourable material having a low bulk density.
  • the tissue container described therein, the so-called big bag or super bag has a filling capacity of 90 to 350 kg.
  • the tissue container is made of flexible, air-permeable fabric, preferably a single-layer or multi-layer plastic fabric, with at least one access opening.
  • the filling of these tissue containers takes place by means of vacuum filling systems. In this case, the tissue container is subjected to negative pressure and the material sucked through the open access opening in the tissue container until a predetermined filling weight is reached. The gas occurs distributed over the entire surface of the tissue container.
  • the product is reversibly compacted, similar to filling in sacks, without destroying its structure.
  • a container having an upper edge, a lower edge and a door provided with a rear side containing an inliner, characterized in that the inliner consists of at least two superimposed layers, wherein an inner layer of uncoated, air-permeable fabric is a outer layer is dust-tight and damp-barrier coated and these layers are connected by a special seam design so that the dust-free venting of the container is possible only through this seam, with the seam designs of the liner in the longitudinal direction of the container at the top and bottom edges are and wherein the inliner is reversibly fixed in the container and has at least one filling opening and an emptying opening.
  • the filling opening and the emptying opening are preferably located next to one another at the lower edge of the rear side of the container.
  • the container is preferably a worldwide standard transport container.
  • the inliner corresponds in its structure to the structure of the large container described in EP 0982238 A, but the inliner is designed such that it completely fills the interior of a standard container.
  • the filling opening of the inliner is preferably in the form of a filling nozzle consisting of a fabric hose firmly connected to the inliner.
  • the fabric hose is preferably made of the same material as the inliner.
  • the filling neck preferably has a length of less than 100 cm and preferably a diameter of between 5 and 40 cm.
  • the emptying opening corresponds in shape and size preferably the filling opening.
  • the inliner is preferably reversibly secured by means of several fixing loops on the eyelets and fastening webs in the interior of the container (Fig. 1).
  • Each fixing loop is preferably fastened to the inliner with an over-lap seam. Since standard containers have different attachment points inside, usually eyelets or webs, but the inliner has standardized and firmly fixed loops, a flexibility for hanging the fixing loops of the inliner is preferably achieved by having a plurality of eyelets (webs) of the container with a Join band and run this band through the fixation loops.
  • the invention further relates to a method for filling a container according to the invention.
  • This method is characterized in that in the container according to the invention, the inliner via the filling opening means a dense phase conveying process is filled with a filling material until a predetermined filling weight is reached, the dense phase conveying system is removed and then the filling opening is closed.
  • the compression takes place by means of diaphragm pumps.
  • the invention does not work with negative pressure, but the product is filled into the inliner with pressure, wherein the pressure reduction (air) does not take place via a separate opening, but the venting of the inliner preferably over the entire surface of the inner fabric layer of the inliner takes place in an intermediate region between inner fabric layer and outer fabric layer, and from this intermediate region the further air release takes place via the seams of the inliner.
  • a filling grid (FIG. 2) is preferably inserted into the rear door opening of the container.
  • the filling grid (1) on the container (2) is first hung from above in the ISO blocks (3) of the container (2).
  • Two side frames (4) with fastening hooks (5) are inserted on the left and right into the filling grid (1) hanging on the container (2).
  • the two fastening hooks (5) are hooked in the bottom left and right in the ISO blocks (3) and inserted into the ISO blocks as far as they will go.
  • the entire filling grid frame is firmly fixed to the container. This can be done for example by means of two hand wheels (6).
  • Fig. 3 shows an example of the filling of the liner in the container.
  • the filling nozzle (7) of the conveyor unit is with a template, which contains the highly air-containing solid, connected and pushed so far into the filling hose (8) that it protrudes about 10 cm into the inliner (9).
  • the filling nozzle (7) is dust-tightly connected to the filling hose (8) and thus to the filling opening of the inliner.
  • the filling takes place via the filling nozzle, wherein the filling material is conveyed by means of a pressure conveying system in the filling nozzle, preferably by means of a controllable diaphragm pump.
  • a pressure conveying system in the filling nozzle
  • the filling nozzle is uncoupled and the filling opening of the inliner is closed.
  • the end point of the filling is determined, for example, via a pressure sensor, whereby the end point of the filling process is determined via the pressure rise and the filling is automatically terminated.
  • Quantities below the maximum fill weight can be determined, for example, via the fill time or via a floor scale on which the entire unit stands.
  • the invention further relates to a method for emptying a filled container according to the invention.
  • This method is characterized in that the emptying opening of the inliner of the filled container is connected to an unloading device and a suction device and is opened and the filling material is sucked out of the inliner with the aid of the suction device.
  • the emptying of the container is preferably carried out by means of a discharge device (Fig. 4), which can be attached to the standard container.
  • the discharge unit is preferably constructed such that it can be fixed in the Isoblocks of the container. It preferably consists of a preferably conical emptying tube (11) and a support basket (12).
  • the emptying tube (11) is pushed into the emptying opening (14) of the inliner and connected to it for dust-free emptying.
  • the support basket (12) is variably slidable into the emptying opening (14) of the inliner.
  • the support basket (12) ensures during emptying that in a sucking conveyor system, the drain hose of the inliner is not contracted.
  • the support basket preferably contains fluidizing openings through which preferably air or inert gases can be injected (DL) in order to loosen the material in the region of the emptying opening of the inliner in order to restore the flowability of the solids to the required extent for the emptying operation.
  • a discharge device with a pressure pulse generator (13) is preferably used with control unit, the pressure pulse generator during emptying a smooth product discharge of the material ensures that is improved by pressure pulses, the flowability of the material.
  • the control unit is a pneumatic or electrical device with which the frequency of the discharge-assisting pressure pulses can be adjusted, i. is demand-oriented, e.g. every 5 or 10 minutes the compressed air gun is triggered.
  • the filled container in an inclined position, preferably> 30 ° from the horizontal.
  • Containers and processes according to the present invention are particularly suitable for transporting highly dispersed silicic acid.
