Abstract
A metering device for metering dry bulk material contained in a storage container has at least one metering element and a rotary drive connected to the at least one metering element. At least one outlet is provided, and the metering element feeds the dry bulk material to the outlet. The metering element transports the dry bulk material in a direction different from a horizontal direction and comprises at least one helical stay. The outlet has an outlet pipe that extends into the lower area of the storage container. The helical stay interacts with the outlet pipe for effecting transport of the dry bulk material.
Claims19
A metering device for metering dry bulk material (2) contained in a storage container (1), the metering device comprising:
- at least one metering element (8, 8a, 8b, 8c);
- a rotary drive (7) connected to the at least one metering element (8, 8a, 8b, 8c);
- at least one outlet, wherein the at least one metering element (8, 8a, 8b, 8c) feeds the dry bulk material to the at least one outlet;
- wherein the at least one metering element (8, 8a, 8b, 8c) transports the dry bulk material (2) in a direction different from a horizontal direction and comprises at least one helical stay (10, 10a, 10b, 10c);
- wherein the at least one outlet has an outlet pipe (4, 13) adapted to extend into a lower area of the storage container (1);
- wherein the at least one helical stay (10, 10a, 10b, 10c) interacts with the outlet pipe (4, 13) for effecting transport of the dry bulk material (2).
