The invention relates to an unloading system for bulk material from a transport vessel (4), in particular a container, into a silo or another hopper. With this system, the unloading process of the bulk material is easier, more cost-efficient, less time-consuming, more effective, contamination-free and emission-free. To do so, a basic frame (2) is provided which can be fixed to the transport vessel (4) to be unloaded. A screw trough (7) which can be shifted and locked horizontally, with a worm drive (8) as well as a pressurizable dust seal (12) between the screw trough (7) and the unloading opening of the transport vessel (4), are arranged on the basic frame (2). Moreover, a dosing device (11) for dosing the bulk material to be delivered and transport brackets (14) for forklift trucks are provided on the screw trough (7). The unloading device (1) is connected to the transport vessel (4) to be unloaded in such a way that the dust seal (12) is connected in a dust-proof manner to a flexible discharge device (17) of a container liner (14) and thereby forms a dual gasket.

A liquid transport system, a liner bag and a method of using the same are disclosed. The liquid transport system includes a intermediate bulk container and a liner bag, wherein the intermediate bulk container includes a base and a side wall mounted to the base, the base is provided with a valve port, and the liner bag includes a liner bag body and a discharge port. The liner bag body is formed by hermetically welding a front panel and a rear panel along the periphery thereof, and the discharge port is hermetically connected to the liner bag body, and the distance between an edge of the discharge port and a weld line of the liner bag body is set to a minimum. The liner bag is placed in the intermediate bulk container and the discharge port of the liner bag is installed in the valve port.

A sheet which constitutes a liner, cover or curtain is secured to a shipping container. The sheet has an elongate attachment zone which is thicker than the material of the sheet. A clip is formed with an elongate hollow portion having a longitudinal slit along the length thereof. The attachment zone of the sheet is in the hollow portion of the clip with the sheet emerging from the clip through the slit. A cord is connected to a lashing point in the shipping container. The clip has a passageway through which the cord passes thereby to attach the, clip and the attachment zone to the lashing point.

A liner floor for use in a container liner is provided. The liner floor includes a floor portion arranged between a distal end and a proximal portion and the floor portion is configured for being arranged on a floor of the container. The floor portion includes a plurality of stacks of folded sections. The stacks are folded such that a top fold of one stack is connected to a bottom fold of a proximal neighbouring stack. A weight of the folded sections varies along the floor portion with each of the folded sections having at least the same weight as a proximal neighbouring folded section. Also provided are methods for unloading cargo from a container including a liner, and methods and apparatuses for loading cargo into a container.

Apparatus, systems, and methods for housing a bulk material within a flexible container are described herein. In some embodiments, a method includes maintaining a flexible container in an expanded configuration to define an interior volume. A bulk material is conveyed into the interior volume of the expanded flexible container. The flexible container is then moved from the expanded configuration to a collapsed configuration, such that movement of the bulk material within the interior volume is limited.

The present invention relates to a protective device (14) for a container (12) for receiving substances, in particular pulverulent substances, wherein the protective device (14) has a flexible casing (32), which encloses a casing space (38) and comprises a first casing opening (34), and a first tubular body (40) which is connected to the casing (32) in the region of the first casing opening (34) and which has a first mating container connection unit (46), a primary first end (42) and a primary second end (44), wherein the first tubular body (40) is connected to the casing (32) in such a way that the primary first end (42) terminates with the first casing opening (34) or projects into the casing space (38), and the protective device (14) can be connected to the first container connection unit (24) by means of the first mating container connection unit (46) in such a way that the casing (32) can be introduced into the interior (18). The invention further relates to a protective arrangement (10) comprising such a container and such a protective device (14).

A liner for a shipping container including one or more sections, each removably disposed in overlying relation to an interior side of the shipping container, and being formed of a thermally insulative material and including at least one breathable material segment. Each breathable material segment is at least partially formed of an air permeable material having an apertured construction structured to facilitate airflow therethrough, between inner and outer surfaces of a corresponding one of the one or more sections. The apertured construction of the one or more breathable material segments may be at least partially defined by an open mesh material or other materials which include a plurality of through holes integrally formed therein.

A bladder having a fluid impermeable material layer that is compatible with a liquid held in the bladder and at least one impact protection layer that is conformally arranged to span a surface area of the liquid impermeable material.

A flexible carrier includes a body defining a closed volume and at least one filling opening for carrying liquid or liquid-based materials in the container. The section of the body includes a narrowed part at least in the middle part in the direction of the length of the body to reduce the pressure applied by the body to the side walls of the container.
