Abstract

With a device for discharge, particularly of a very fine-grained solid material or solid material mixture, from a container having a discharge funnel in the direction of gravity, underneath the main container part, a solution is to be created, with which the disadvantages of double-wall cone designs, particularly also at high system pressures, are avoided, with a simple, versatile design. This is achieved in that a part ( 3 ) of the discharge funnel in the upper region that faces the container ( 2 ) is formed partly by the container wall itself, which makes a transition into a cylindrical lower container part ( 4 ), while the further part that carries the discharge adapter ( 14 ) is formed by a separate cylinder element ( 9 ) with funnel part ( 11 ), which element is installed in the cylindrical lower container part ( 4 ).

Claims (19)

1 . Device for discharge, particularly of a very fine-grained solid material or solid material mixture, from a storage container having a discharge funnel in the direction of gravity, underneath the main container part,

wherein

a part ( 3 ) of the discharge funnel in the upper region that faces the container ( 2 ) is formed partly by the container wall itself, which makes a transition into a cylindrical lower container part ( 4 ), while the further part that carries the discharge adapter ( 14 ) is formed by a separate cylinder element ( 9 ) with funnel part ( 11 ), which element is installed in the cylindrical lower container part ( 4 ).

2 . Device according to claim 1 , wherein

the lower container part ( 4 ) and the cylinder element ( 9 ) with funnel part ( 11 ) can be connected with one another by means of flanges ( 5 , 8 ).

3 . Device according to

claim 1 , wherein

the cylindrical lower container part ( 4 ) that carries the flange ( 5 ) and the cylinder element ( 9 ) with funnel part ( 11 ) that carries the flange ( 8 ) have a slight distance ( 18 ) from one another in the installation position.

4 . Device according to

claim 1 , wherein

the funnel part ( 11 ) is configured in two pieces in the discharge region, with a cylindrical connection element ( 12 ) that is provided with a tubular, cylindrical discharge adapter ( 14 ).

5 . Device according to claim 4 , wherein

the discharge adapter ( 14 ) in turn is provided with an outer flange ( 15 ) that can be connected with the flange disk ( 8 ) of the funnel part ( 11 ).

6 . Device according to

claim 1 , wherein

significant regions of the funnel part ( 11 ) are formed by a gas-permeable wall, as is actually known, whereby a gas feed ring space ( 22 ) is formed between cylinder element and the gas-permeable funnel wall.

7 . Device according to

claim 1 , wherein

an apron ( 21 ) that bridges the gap ( 23 ) between the cylindrical walls ( 4 , 9 ) is provided in the transition region of the funnel wall of the container and of the discharge funnel.
