Abstract
A device for collecting materials in bulk inside a tank, preferably a rotating tank, comprising a discoid element rotatably mounted on the inner wall adjacent the charging mouth, and provided with a plurality of ribs or ridges destined to contact the material introduced into the tank, so as to facilitate the filling of the tank and to reduce appreciably the friction between the contacting parts.
Claims3
A device for collecting materials in bulk, comprising a rotatable elongated tank having a cylindrical interior, a closed end and a charging end, means on said interior adjacent said charging end for raising materials introduced into said rotating tank, a partition at said charging end partially enclosing said charging end, a discoid element rotatably mounted in said partition having an inner surface, and a plurality of ribs on said surface disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said tank for contacting the material introduced into said tank whereby the filling of said tank is facilitated by reducing friction.
