ABSTRACT:
Paper, cardboard, thin wood chips, and other feltable, non-flowable and generally laminar materials are stored in a silo and supported by generally parallel beams at a level above a base platform. The material mats together and is self-supporting in a general arch shape between the beams and is removed from the silo by lowering the beams one at a time to lower a portion of the material while the rest of the material is self-supporting in a general arch shape upheld by beams other than the lowered beam. Lowered material is moved off the base platform and out from under the self-supporting material above, the lowered beam is raised to its original level, then another beam is lowered to repeat the process indefinitely.
