METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CRUSHING AND DISCHARGING GRANULAR CLUMP MATERIAL INSIDE FLEXIBLE CONTAINER

摘要

The device and method for crushing and discharging a granular clump material in a flexible container includes a hanging step for hanging from above a flexible container (40) containing a compacted granular clump material, a thrusting step for thrusting top portions of contact units (10) against a bottom wall (40b) of the flexible container (40) in regions on opposite sides of a discharge tube (41) extending downward from a central region of the bottom wall, and a pushing step for pushing side portions (31, 32, 33) of the contact units (10) in regions from the bottom wall (40b) to side portions (40a) of the flexible container (40). The method and device are capable of crushing the granular clump material in the flexible container and of discharging substantially whole amount thereof.
