Abstract

A system for discharging dried product, particularly for drying filters, drying units and the like, comprising, on a container for treating and containing a dried product, a discharge hole that is controlled by a discharge valve, interposed on a pneumatic circuit suitable to produce a circulation of fluid in output from the discharge hole. An agitator is also provided which acts on the dried product to facilitate its outward conveyance.

Claims (6)

1. A system for discharging dried product from a container for treating and containing a dried product, comprising: a discharge hole provided at the container; a pneumatic circuit in communication with said discharge hole to produce a circulation of fluid in output from the container through the discharge hole; an agitator provided in said container to act on said dried product; a discharge valve that is interposed on said pneumatic circuit to control fluid flow through said discharge hole; an inlet valve provided on said container for conveyance fluid; a bag filter, provided downstream of said discharge valve; an electric fan and a compressor acting on said filter for fluid flow enabling; a recovery duct connecting said fan and compressor to said inlet valve; and a motor for driving said fan and compressor to convey the conveyance fluid toward said recovery duct.

2. The discharge system of claim 1 , comprising pressurized conveyance fluid introduced in said container for achieving pneumatic circulation of the dried product.

3. The discharge system of claim 1 , comprising a vacuum environment provided downstream of said discharge valve to achieve pneumatic circulation of said dried product.

4. The discharge system of claim 1 , comprising a combination of a pressurized conveyance fluid introduced in the container and a vacuum environment produced downstream of said discharge valve to achieve pneumatic circulation.

5. The discharge system of claim 1 , comprising an inlet for injecting a conveyance fluid in said pneumatic circuit downstream of said discharge valve, so as to provide an aspiration effect.

6. The discharge system of claim 5 , wherein said conveyance fluid is constituted by an inert gaseous substance.
