Gate for emptying a self-flowing material out of a bin-shaped container, preferably grain out of an on-floor dryer, and method therefor

摘要

The present invention relates to a gate (1) for emptying a self-flowing material out of a bin-shaped container, preferably grain (15) out of an on-floor dryer, which gate (1) comprises a first surface (2) facing into the container and a second surface (3) facing out of the container when the gate (1) is in a closed position. The first surface (2) has a shape substantially like that of the curved surface of a half cylinder, and the second surface (3) has a shape substantially like that of the opposite straight surface of the half cylinder, and the gate (1) is pivotally supported about an axis (4) which substantially coincides with a longitudinal central axis of an imaginary cylinder of which the first surface (2) forms a part.
