Estimating the term…
An installation for storing and handling a granular or pulverulent product, comprising a vessel for storing the product, which may be extracted by means of at least one handling apparatus comprising a raking scoop which causes, during its active travel, the product to pour over the upper edge of an upwardly divergent wall of the vessel. The storage vessel is disposed in a store protected from the exterior medium. The handling apparatus, or each handling apparatus is constituted by a dragline the raking scoop of which is carried by a rigid boom which is mounted on a movable frame located outside the vessel in a high position adjacent the divergent wall of the vessel. A device is provided for filling the vessel and adapted to pour the product in the vicinity of the path described by the end of the dragline boom opposed to the frame.
An installation for storing and handling a granular or pulverulent product, comprising a store, a vessel located within the store and for storing the product and comprising a floor and upwardly extending wall means joined to the floor for retaining said product inside the vessel, said wall means including a wall which is upwardly and outwardly inclined relative to the interior of the vessel and defines an upper edge, at least one handling apparatus for extracting the product from the vessel and comprising a movable frame located outside the vessel adjacent said inclined wall, a rigid boom which is mounted on the frame to be movable relative to the vessel so that an end of the boom remote from said frame is movable in a path which is adjacent a region of the vessel laterally remote from the inclined wall and is higher than said edge, a dragline including a raking scoop and movably mounted on the boom so that the scoop is movable between a first position in which the scoop is adjacent said edge of said inclined wall and a second position in which the scoop is adjacent said end of the boom remote from the frame, means for shifting the dragline and scoop in an active scooping direction from said second position to said first position of the scoop to cause said product to pour over said edge of the inclined wall for reception by product discharge means and means for shifting the dragline and scoop in a return direction from said first position to said second position, and means for pouring said product into the vessel and located in said region and positioned higher than said edge of the inclined wall and adjacent said path of said end of the boom whereby a heap of said product can be formed in the vessel which has a natural slope which is downwardly inclined from said region to said edge of the inclined wall.
An installation for storing and handling a granular or pulverulent product, comprising a substantially circular store, a substantially circular vessel located within the store and for storing the product and comprising a floor and upwardly extending wall means joined to the floor for retaining said product inside the vessel, said wall means including a wall which is upwardly and outwardly inclined relative to the interior of the vessel and defines an upper edge, at least one handling apparatus for extracting the product from the vessel and comprising a frame located outside the vessel adjacent said inclined wall and rotatable about a substantially vertical axis substantially in the centre of the store, a rigid boom which is mounted on the frame to be rotatable relative to the vessel so that an end of the boom remote from said frame is rotatable in a circular path which is adjacent a region of the vessel laterally remote from the inclined wall and is higher than said edge, a dragline including a raking scoop and movably mounted on the boom so that the scoop is movable between a first position in which the scoop is adjacent said edge of said inclined wall and a second position in which the scoop is adjacent said end of the boom remote from the frame, means for shifting the dragline and scoop in an active scooping direction from said second position to said first position of the scoop to cause said product to pour over said edge of the inclined wall for reception by product discharge means and means for shifting the dragline and scoop in a return direction from said first position to said second position, and means for pouring said product into the vessel and located in said region and positioned higher than said edge of the inclined wall and adjacent said path of said end of the boom whereby a heap of said product can be formed in the vessel which has a natural slope which is downwardly inclined from said region to said edge of the inclined wall.
An installation for storing and handling a granular or pulverulent product, comprising a rectangular store, a vessel having a prismatic shape located within the store and for storing the product and comprising a floor and upwardly extending wall means joined to the floor for retaining said product inside the vessel, said wall means including a wall which is upwardly and outwardly inclined relative to the interior of the vessel and defines an upper edge, at least one handling apparatus for extracting the product from the vessel and comprising a frame located outside the vessel adjacent said inclined wall and movable in translation alongside said inclined wall, a rigid boom which is mounted on the frame to be movable relative to the vessel so that an end of the boom remote from said frame is movable in a path which is adjacent a region of the vessel laterally remote from the inclined wall and is higher than said edge, a dragline including a raking scoop and movably mounted on the boom so that the scoop is movable between a first position in which the scoop is adjacent said edge of said inclined wall and a second position in which the scoop is adjacent said end of the boom remote from the frame, means for shifting the dragline and scoop in an active scooping direction from said second position to said first position of the scoop to cause said product to pour over said edge of the inclined wall for reception by product discharge means and means for shifting the dragline and scoop in a return direction from said first position to said second position, and means for pouring said product into the vessel and located in said region and positioned higher than said edge of the inclined wall and adjacent said path of said end of the boom whereby a heap of said product can be formed in the vessel which has a natural slope which is downwardly inclined from said region to said edge of the inclined wall.
