The invention relates to a method and a kit for draining a flexible container housing a viscous product which is selected from the group of products having a viscosity of between 10 Pa.s and 200 000 Pa.s, e.g. silicon gums or oils. The inventive draining method essentially consists in: using a flexible container (3); optionally, moving the container (3) to be drained from the storage site thereof to a drainage site; ensuring that the viscous product (2) can flow from the container (3) through at least one outlet (9) which is preferably disposed in the lower part of same; exerting a pressure on at least one defined area of the flexible container (3) using pressurising means which preferably consist of at least one pressure member (5) and/or a pressure fluid, such as to (i) maintain the container (3) in the inflated or partially-inflated state and (ii) hasten the flow; and, finally, removing the pressure once the container has been drained. The drainage kit consists of the viscous product (silicon mastic), a big-bag-type flexible container (3) and a draining device comprising at least one pressure member [piston (5) or set of rollers] and/or a pressure fluid.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un nécessaire de vidange d'un conteneur souple renfermant le produit visqueux qui est choisi dans le groupe des produits de viscosité comprise entre 10 Pa.s et 200 000 Pa.s, à savoir e.g. des huiles ou des gommes silicones. Ce procédé de vidange consiste essentiellement à : mettre en oeuvre un conteneur souple (3) ; éventuellement déplacer le conteneur (3) à vider de son site de stockage vers un site de vidange ; faire en sorte qu'au moins une ouverture de sortie (9), disposée de préférence dans la partie inférieure du conteneur (3), permette l'écoulement du produit visqueux (2) hors du conteneur (3) ; exercer une pression sur au moins une zone délimitée du conteneur souple (3) à l'aide de moyens de mise sous pression, de préférence constitués par au moins un organe-presseur (5) et/ou par un fluide-presseur, de manière à, d'une part, maintenir le conteneur (3) à l'état gonflé ou partiellement gonflé, et, d'autre part, hâter l'écoulement ; dépressuriser en fin de vidange. Le nécessaire de vidange comprend le produit visqueux (mastic silicone), un conteneur souple (3) du type "big bag" et un dispositif de vidange comprenant au moins un organe presseur [piston (5) ou jeu de rouleaux] et/ou un fluide presseur.
