Device for emptying silos for bulk material, provided with a flat or slightly inclined bottom

摘要

An improvement on a silo for delivery of fluid bulk material, such as livestock feed, grain, flour, spices, sugar, and similar provides for an inner compartment adjacent to the bottom of the silo of the shape approximately of a truncated cone or funnel, with the wider periphery thereof merging with the inside of the cylindrical wall of the silo and with the narrower periphery extending into a shorter vertical wall merging with the bottom of the silo. The lower portion of the cylinder wall of the silo forms with the truncated cone shell within it an annular channel. A central cone rises from the center of the bottom of the compartment. Material release openings are provided within the vertical cone wall and lead from the compartment into the channel.
