Sammendrag
Powders are stored in large containers called silos. Discharge of silos
very often is accompanied with many problems that are only encountered
with particulate materials. Firstly, ratholing and arching may occur,
preventing the material from discharging from the silo. Secondly, the flow
can take place in tunnel flow, where only a small part of the silo content is
moving during discharge, or there may be mass flow, where the whole content
is moving, which has many advantages. The project is seeking economical
solutions that can give mass flow.
