Abstract
An emptying system for emptying paste-like material from barrel-type containers having a container follower plate—which preferably can be lowered like a plunger into the interior of the container—and which includes a removal opening having a pump in operative connection with the removal opening for extracting material enclosed in the collection chamber between the container bottom and the container follower plate, wherein in the collection chamber at least one agitator is provided, which imposes on the material contained in the collection chamber a motion in relation to the container follower plate.
