ABSTRACT:
The system includes a plurality of material discharge spouts combined with a blending device for use with a hoppered bin. Each spout opens to the hopper at a location selected to draw material into the hopper from substantially one predetermined portion of a horizontal bin cross sectional plane in a first in -- first out segregation free manner. The blending device combines the material discharge streams formed by the spouts in proportion to the areas of the portions of the horizontal bin cross sectional plane from which they are drawn, respectively, to form a common discharge stream of uniform composition. The principles of the invention are applicable to conversion of existing bins or bin bottoms, or to a bin withdrawal system or process. Also disclosed is a blending unit which includes a mass flow hopper, the blending unit being particularly suited for bin or bin bottom conversion application.
