Abstract
A device for containing and supplying loose materials, includes: a support frame (5); a rigid container (2) mounted on the support frame (5) and exhibiting at least one opening (3); elements (4) for opening or closing the at least one opening (3). The rigid container (2) is rotatably constrained to the support frame (5) and is rotated on the support frame (5) with rotating elements (11). The container (2) is mobile between at least a first position, in which the at least one opening (3) is located in an upper position for loading loose material into the container (2), and at least a second position, in which the at least one opening is located in a lower position for unloading the loose material from the container (2).

A device for containing and supplying loose materials, comprising:
- a support frame (5);
- a rigid container (2) mounted on the support frame (5) and exhibiting at least one opening (3);
- means (4) for opening or closing the at least one opening (3);
- a device exhibiting means (11) for rotating the container (2) on the support frame (5) about a rotation axis (x) thereof;
- the container (2) being rotatably constrained to the support frame (5) and being mobile between at least a first position, in which the at least one opening (3) is located in an upper position for loading loose material into the container (2), and at least a second position, in which the at least one opening is located in a lower position for unloading the loose material from the container (2) charaterized in that the container (2) exhibits a parellelepiped shape with rounded corners and wherein the at least one opening (3) extends at least partially along an access corner (10a) of the rounded corners (10) of the container (2) and is parallel to the rotation axis (x) of the container (2).
