DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0052]Referring to the drawings, a flexible pocket for a container evacuation arrangement in accordance with the invention is shown.

[0053]A container evacuation arrangement includes a cube-shaped flexible container 10 constructed of at least two layers each consisting of four polygonally shaped sheets 12, 14, 16, 18 and having[0054](a) a first flexible pocket 20 adapted to receive a flowable material;[0055](b) a second flexible pocket 22 in communication with the first flexible pocket 20 and sealed in fluid communication with the first flexible pocket 20;[0056](c) an inlet and / or funnel 24 in communication with the first flexible pocket 20;[0057](d) a drain 26 in communication with the first flexible pocket 20;[0058](e) a fill port 28 in communication with the second flexible pocket 22;[0059]and a rigid frame (not shown) to supporting the flexible container 10.

[0060]The second flexible pocket 22 surrounds the first flexible pocket 20.

[0061]The first ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a container evacuation arrangement, which includes a flexible container constructed of at least two layers, each consisting of four polygonally shaped sheets and having a first flexible pocket adapted to receive a flowable material, a second flexible pocket in sealed fluid communication with the first flexible pocket. The first flexible pocket has an inlet and/or funnel and a drain, while the second flexible pocket is provided with a fill port. The flexible container is supported by a rigid frame.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates to a container evacuation arrangement.[0002]More particularly, the present invention relates to a container evacuation arrangement for evacuation of bulk flowable materials in intermediate bulk containers.BACKGROUND TO INVENTION [0003]Viscous, greasy, flowable materials including powders are generally transported in containers having a rigid exterior frame and a flexible interior pocket. The interior pocket normally contains a top mounted inlet and a side mounted drain. The pocket is thus filled from the top inlet, which is capped for transportation and storage. When the container is to be evacuated, the drain is opened and the material is allowed to flow out of the container through the drain.[0004]Where the materials are viscous and less flowable for example due to temperature effects, a mechanism is provided to force the viscous material out of the container through the drain. Examples include a double chamber whereby air is ...
