Abstract
Inside a steel container (1, 17, 23), a bin (3) of corrosion-resistant material is fitted. This bin (3) is fastened to the container walls. The side walls and the top wall of the bin are substantially identical in shape to those of the steel container. The container is intended for the transport of bulk goods, especially plastics particle material, the contamination of this material by steel particles, which have come loose as a result of corrosion, being prevented.

Steel container, for the storage and transport of bulk goods, the inner surfaces of the container being covered by walls made of an aluminum alloy, which walls together form a closed box, upright side walls and a top wall of which closed box are substantially identical in shape to walls of the steel container,
- one or more fill openings being made either in a bulkhead of the closed box or in an upper wall of the closed box, which fill openings are closable by a first lid and can be brought in communication with the space outside the steel container via an open door or via an opening in an upper wall of the steel container, wherein,
- one or more discharge openings are present either in a bulkhead of the closed box or in a lower wall of the closed box, which discharge openings are closable by a second lid, at least transitions from long side walls into the top wall and from a short side wall into the top wall and the long side walls comprise angled or rounded parts, and
- the discharge openings are flanged by funnel-shaped bottom walls extending towards the discharge openings.
A steel container assembly for transporting bulk material, comprising:
- an outer steel container with steel container walls and with an exterior opening;
- a closed box located interior to and in contact with the outer steel container,
- the closed box comprising
- walls made of a corrosion-resistant material, the walls including side walls and a top wall, the wall being substantially identical in shape to the steel container walls,
- at least one fill opening in one of the walls of the closed box that, via the exterior opening, brings an interior space of the closed box into communication with an exterior space outside the steel container,
- a lid that closes the fill opening,
- at least one closable discharge opening in one of the walls of the closed box, and
- funnel-shaped bottom walls extending towards the discharge opening;
- a bushing inserted through an aligned opening through one steel container wall contacting one closed box wall;
- and
- a screw bolt turned in the bushing, the bushing having an annular thickening lying against an exterior side of the one steel container wall.
A steel container assembly for transporting bulk material, comprising:
- an outer steel container with steel walls and with an exterior opening;
- and
- a closed box located interior to and in contact with the outer steel container,
- the closed box comprising
- walls made of a corrosion-resistant material, the walls including side walls and a top wall, the wall being substantially identical in shape to the steel container walls, the side walls including long side walls and a short side wall,
- at least one fill opening in one of the walls of the closed box that, via the exterior opening, brings an interior space of the closed box into communication with an exterior space outside the steel container,
- a lid that closes the fill opening,
- at least one closable discharge opening in one of the walls of the closed box, and
- funnel-shaped bottom walls extending towards the discharge opening;
- and
- transitions from the long side walls into the top wall and transitions from the short side wall into the top wall and the long side walls, the transitions comprising angled or rounded parts.
