Another container having at least one compartment, each compartment having a lower section with a reducing cross-sectional area and a pivotably operable closure assembly, with several such closure assemblies being linked together by means of bars. Such a container is used to contain raw building materials for stockpiling of these materials at a container port. It is also used to supply materials to a concrete production plant whee pollution control containers are provided below the supply container and above the scaling and mixing stations to reduce particulate pollution. A pair of slewing apparatuses is also provided to engage both ends of a container and turn the container over about its longitudinal axis, thereby emptying its contents.
A container for transferring bulk materials, being shaped and dimensioned in at least length and width to be handled as a standard freight container and having a base,
Stewing apparatus for turning a container
A system for producing a mixture of components, comprising:
Cover means clipably attachable to adjacent edges of adjacent freight containers to prevent materials falling therebetween.
Interfacial seal means for sealing interfacial gaps between containers stacked on top of the other.
A container, apparatus, system or method substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
