A mechanical rocker-arm type vertical feeding cushioning device, consisting of two identical cushioning units and a box body (7). The two cushioning units are respectively arranged with a certain height difference on the inner side of the box body (7). Each cushioning unit consists of a cushioning mechanism and a fixing hinge mechanism. The cushioning mechanism is composed of a cushioning plate (1), a spring (5) and a balance weight (6). The fixing hinge mechanism is composed of a hinge plate (2), a right angle circular rod (3) and an elastic limiting device (4). The cushioning plate (1) is fixed to the hinge plate (2) via connection holes and using bolts. The hinge plate (2) is welded to the right angle circular rod (3). The elastic limiting device (4) consists of two elastic limiting plates and a hollow iron ring in a welded manner. The right angle circular rod (3) is connected to the elastic limiting device (4) in a sleeved manner via the hollow iron ring of the elastic limiting device (4). An upper end of the spring (5) is connected to the right angle circular rod (3), and the balance weight (6) is suspended at a lower end of the spring (5). Material is fed to the cushioning plates via a feeding pipe, and falls down after being cushioned twice by the cushioning plates (1). The cushioning device repeatedly cushions and recovers under the joint effect of the cushioning plates (1) and the cushioning balances (6).

An automated container loader for loading a smaller storage container into a larger storage container. The loader includes a container support for receiving a larger storage container and a container loading assembly configured to receive a smaller storage container above the larger storage container and release the smaller storage container to allow the smaller storage container to descend under gravity into the larger storage container. The container loading assembly also includes a plurality of engagement surfaces configured to engage the smaller storage container during at least a portion of the descent of the smaller storage container to control the descent velocity of the smaller storage container under gravity.

The present invention provides a process for loading ceramic spheres into a vertical reactor. The process comprises introducing into the reactor along a substantial height thereof a feeding pipe that is opened at its bottom part. According to the invention, no physical device or air-supplying conduit is present inside the inner section of the feeding pipe. The process allows for rapid, safe and efficient loading, without breakage of the particles.
