Abstract
Device for discharging loose products includes a conveyor body attachable with its first end to a treatment machine for the loose products. The conveyor body, in correspondence to its second end, comprises a wall in which a collection aperture is made, selectively openable/closable by means of an opening/closing member to allow the discharge of said loose products. The discharge device for loose products further includes a pneumatic deliverer located in the conveyor body and configured to deliver a stream of gas at least toward the wall and determine the discharge, through the collection aperture, at least of the loose products that are deposited on the wall.

A device for discharging loose products comprising a tubular conveyor body defined by at least one perimeter wall and provided with a first end attachable to a treatment machine for said loose products, with a second end opposite the first end, and with a bottom wall attached in correspondence to said second end and disposed transversely to said perimeter wall to partly occlude the tubular transit section of said conveyor body, a collection aperture being made in said bottom wall, selectively openable/closable by means of an opening/closing member to allow the discharge of said loose products, and further comprising at least one delivery nozzle located in said conveyor body, having at least one delivery aperture that faces at least toward said bottom wall and is configured to deliver a stream of gas incident against said bottom wall to determine the discharge, through said collection aperture, at least of the loose products that are deposited on said bottom wall.
A method for discharging loose products from a treatment machine arranged to make said loose products pass through a conveyor body of a discharge device attached with its first end to said treatment machine, having at least one perimeter wall and provided, in correspondence with its second end opposite the first end, with a bottom wall disposed transversely to the perimeter wall to partly occlude the tubular transit section of the conveyor body, said method providing to discharge said loose products through a collection aperture, selectively openable/closable by an opening/closing member (28), and provided in said bottom wall, and further comprising the emission, with a delivery nozzle, of a stream of gas incident against said bottom wall to determine the discharge, through said collection aperture, at least of the loose products that are deposited on said bottom wall.
