ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing material from a drum or barrel includes a conveyor for transporting drums one at a time through an emptying station at which a housing having an open end is arranged for sealing engagement with an annular rim of a drum bounding an opening through which material is to be withdrawn. The emptying station additionally includes a mechanism adapted to lift drums from the conveyor and place same in sealing engagement with the housing, a scraper supported to movably project from within the housing through its open end and into the opening of a sealingly engaged drum for scraping material from the walls thereof and conveying such material outwardly of the drum into the housing for subsequent discharge therefrom through a discharge opening. The discharge opening communicates with an inlet opening of an axially elongated material conveyor serving to transport material from its inlet opening to a discharge opening removably communicating with a material receiver. The housing is fixed to the material conveyor and the material conveyor is supported for rotary movement about a horizontally disposed axis, whereby to effect vertical tilting of the sealing engaged drum and facilitate movement of material therefrom and through the housing into the material conveyor and subsequent discharge of material therefrom into the material receiver.
