Benefits of technology

The patent describes an assembly that includes a pneumatic controller and a regulated pressure pneumatic circuit. The pneumatic controller has three positions and four ports, and the assembly also includes a flow control orifice to control the rate of movement of the pneumatic linear drive. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a reliable and safe way to control the movement of pneumatic devices.

Problems solved by technology

If this occurs, then the liner may be damaged, or the maximum volumetric capacity of the bin and liner combination may not be realized.
That way, improper fit can be adjusted before the liner becomes filled with the fluid material.

Abstract

A lifting assembly for a polymeric liner disposed within a fluid material container. The assembly includes a pneumatic linear drive, and, an interface member that is supportively connecting to the polymeric liner. A tension line is coupled between the pneumatic linear drive and the interface member, and a line guide is positioned to route the tension line to a central location above the polymeric liner, and thereby correspondingly locates the interface member. A pneumatic controller actuates the pneumatic linear drive to move in a first direction, to move in a second direction, or to remain in a fixed position. Movement of the pneumatic linear drive in the first direction causes the tension line to lift the interface member in an upward direction, and, movement of the pneumatic linear drive in the second direction causes the tension line to lower the interface member in a downward direction.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to fluid material containers that are lined with a polymeric bag-type liner. More particularly, the present invention relates to an assembly for raising and lowering such a liner as it is filled or emptied, by using a pneumatic linear drive.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Storage and processing containers are in widespread use in various industries and other endeavors. Many of these are used to contain liquids and other flowable bulk materials, such as powders and granular materials. While containing certain types of fluid materials, it is preferable to line the container with a polymeric membrane so that the bulk material is either impermeably contained in a suitable polymeric material, or to insure that the bulk materials does not contact the container itself. For example, in the case of pharmaceutical and food grade materials, a polymeric liner, such as PVC or polypropylene,...
