ABSTRACT:
A hopper is provided having longitudinally spaced tapered end walls and transversely spaced tapered side walls. An opening is provided in one of the end walls and a discharge conduit is attached to the external surface of this end wall. On the internal surface of this end wall a discharge trough is attached. The front surface of the trough is tapered on the same incline as this end wall. Fluidizing membrane assemblies are attached to each of the side walls which are inclined downwardly toward the discharge conduit to facilitate lading flowing into the discharge conduit during unloading. The discharge trough is generally in the form of an inverted V, with the lower edges of the V spaced from the lower hopper wall a distance sufficient to allow air and lading to pass around the trough and into the discharge trough. The lower edges of the V are preferably tapered inwardly and downwardly toward the end wall to increase the velocity of the fluidized lading as it passes into the trough and then into the discharge conduit.
