CA 2549759

This invention relates to a material discharge apparatus (1), method and computer program for controlling the flow rate of flowable material being conveyed through a hopper (2), the apparatus (1) including a hopper (2) having an inlet opening (4) at the top and a discharge outlet (5) at the base of the hopper (2), and a valve means (7) configured and arranged in the hopper, the valve means (7) having a lower end portion adjacent the discharge outlet (5) forming a gap between the hopper and the valve means for material to flow therethrough, the valve means and/or the hopper being adapted to move relative to the other, in use, for controlling the rate of discharge of material through the gap.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif (1), un procédé et un logiciel de décharge de matériau permettant de maîtriser le débit d'un matériau fluable amené via une trémie (2). Cet appareil (1) comporte une trémie (2) ouvrant sur le dessus (4) et un orifice de décharge (5) au fond de la trémie (2). Un dispositif en clapets (7) est configuré et agencé dans la trémie. Son extrémité inférieure, qui vient contre l'orifice de décharge (5), ménage un intervalle entre la trémie et le dispositif en clapets pour permettre le passage du matériau. Le dispositif en clapets et/ou la trémie sont conçus pou être mobile l'un par rapport à l'autre pour fonctionner, de façon à réguler le débit de décharge du matériau par l'intervalle.
