ABSTRACT:
A method of emptying a large container of e.g. 12000 litres for the storage of fish, such as shellfish, e.g. shrimps, said container being emptied through a pipe in the container, air being supplied simultaneously with the emptying. The air is expediently supplied through
ear the bottom of the container via holes which are provided in a pattern, or via a pipe distribution system which is lowered into the container. By supplying the air to the container during emptying it is ensured that the pipe, through which the fish are discharged from the container, does not clog, and that the contents are discharged as a uniformly distributed mass.
