The invention provides a diameter reducing system for reducing the diameter of a flexible container (12) as the container is filled. The system includes a stretching device (24) to stretch the container at the fill level as the container is filled with a plurality of particles. The stretching device can release a stretched portion (22) of the container substantially at the fill level as the fill level rises. The container can be a flexible, elastic bag. Shrinking of the container at the fill level as the container fills promotes supporting engagement between particles to enhance the structural integrity of the filled container and to reduce the likelihood that particles will be damaged during movement of the filled container.

Cette invention se rapporte à un système réducteur de diamètre, qui sert à réduire le diamètre d'un récipient flexible (12) au fur et à mesure que le récipient est rempli. Ce système comprend un dispositif tendeur (24) qui étire le récipient au niveau de remplissage, lorsque le récipient est rempli par plusieurs particules. Ce dispositif tendeur peut libérer une partie étirée (22) du récipient essentiellement au niveau de remplissage, lorsque le niveau de remplissage augmente. Le récipient peut être un sac élastique flexible. Le rétrécissement du récipient au niveau de remplissage au fur et à mesure que le récipient se remplit favorise l'interpénétration entre les particules, ce qui améliore l'intégrité de structure du récipient rempli et réduit le risque que les particules ne soient endommagées pendant les mouvements du récipient rempli.
