A sand conveying apparatus and a control method thereof, a controlling device, and a storage medium are provided. The sand conveying apparatus includes a storage device, a conveying device, and a hoisting device. The storage device is located above an area where sand needs to be input. The conveying device is connected with the storage device. The conveying device is configured to convey the sand to the storage device. The hoisting device is located above the conveying device. The hoisting device is configured to transport the sand in the sand container to the conveying device through an action of the hoist, and the hoist of the hoisting device is configured to move simultaneously along a plurality of route segments in different directions, so as to realize a linear movement between a first position where the hoist is located and a position where the hopper is located.

The disclosure provides a bulk container discharge apparatus and related methods. An illustrative, non-limiting example of such an apparatus includes a base portion, a platform disposed on the base portion, the platform being configured to support a bulk container, and at least one articulating arm. The at least one articulating arm can have a first portion that is pivotally coupled to the base portion at a first pivot. The at least one articulating arm can be configured to lift a bulk container along a loading path (such as but not limited to an arcuate path) that is at least partially vertical from a lower position to an upper position to place the bulk container over the platform when in the articulating arm is in the upper position to facilitate discharging the contents of the bulk container.

A bulk bag discharge assembly comprising a main frame assembly and a bag conditioning assembly. The main frame assembly defines a bulk bag receiving region having a discharge support base structurally configured to receive a bulk bag thereon for discharging. The bag conditioning assembly comprises opposing conditioner frames, each having a proximal end, a distal end, and an impact face, and at a proximal end, pivotably coupled to the main frame assembly. A powered cylinder is pivotably coupled to the main frame assembly at a first end, and to the first conditioner frame at a second end. The conditioning assembly is structurally configured to impact a side of a bulk bag positioned on the discharge support base, without impacting a bottom of a bulk bag, wherein the distal end of the first conditioner frame is directed at least partially in an upward direction within the bulk bag receiving region.

An emptying station for a flexible intermediate bulk container (FIBC) is provided. The emptying station has a body having a front wall, a rear wall defining an aperture, and left and right side walls, the walls collectively defining a hopper for receiving particulate matter contained in the FIBC, at least one power source connected to the body, a lift assembly operatively connected to the at least one power source and to the body. The lift assembly moves the FIBC between lowered and raised positions. A cutter is connected to the body and is disposed in the hopper. The cutter is positioned for cutting a bottom of the FIBC when moved from the lowered position to the raised position. At least one mixer is connected to the body for mixing the particulate matter received in the hopper. The at least one mixer also conveys the particulate matter towards the rear wall.

A system for making a cementitious composite includes a cementitious material supply system for dispensing a powdered cementitious material or a semi-powdered cementitious material into a receiving material. The receiving material includes a structural layer and a sealing layer. The structural layer includes an open continuous volume extending from a first side to a second side opposite the first side. The sealing layer is coupled to the first side. The cementitious material supply system is configured to dispense the powdered cementitious material or the semi-powdered cementitious material into the open continuous volume to fill the open continuous volume.

A sealing system for connecting a bulk bag to a material handling and processing system. The sealing system comprises a main housing and a discharge tube housed within the main housing. The discharge tube is configured to fluidly connect the bulk bag with the material handling and processing system. The sealing system additionally comprises a first seal configured to selectively seal the bulk bag with respect to the discharge tube, and a second seal configured to selectively seal an interior space of the main housing from the material handling and processing system.

The device and method for crushing and discharging a granular clump material in a flexible container includes a hanging step for hanging from above a flexible container containing a compacted granular clump material, a thrusting step for thrusting top portions of contact units against a bottom wall of the flexible container in regions on opposite sides of a discharge tube extending downward from a central region of the bottom wall, and a pushing step for pushing side portions of the contact units in regions from the bottom wall to side portions of the flexible container. The method and device are capable of crushing the granular clump material in the flexible container and of discharging substantially whole amount thereof.

A closing system for a bag. The closing system comprises a first plate and a second plate. The closing system further comprises a plurality of constriction rods extending between the first plate and the second plate. The constriction rods present a constriction area configured to receive a portion of the bag. Each of the first plate and the second plate is configured to rotate. Rotation of the plates is configured to shift the constriction rods so as to reduce a size of the constriction area.

A filling device for decanting material from a flexible bulk material container is provided. The filling device has a hollow body that has an upper opening face and a lower opening face. The upper end of the hollow body projects into the interior of the flexible bulk material container so that material from the flexible bulk material container can enter the hollow body via the upper opening face. At the lower end of the hollow body there is a closure that has an upper plate and a lower plate. The lower plate can be pivoted about the axis of a bolt from a first position in which it completely closes the opening of the upper plate to a second position in which the opening of the upper plate is at least slightly open. The lower plate has a structure that forms at least part of the standing face.

The present invention relates to a big bag having a body having a plurality of sidewalls, an open top end, a closed bottom end, and a perimeter, wherein each one of the sidewalls connects with an adjacent sidewall forming a corner; a plurality of handles, each handle is connected to a corresponding corner; and a central handle connected to a middle section of the closed bottom of the body, wherein the central handle protrudes from the perimeter of the body.
