ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method for stimulating flow of particulates toward an outlet of a container or other enclosure. A flexible wear-resistant liner is provided to cover an interior surface of the container along with a plurality of inflatable members at spaced locations juxtaposed between the surface and the liner. The members are inflated and deflated in any of various cyclic patterns so as to separate weakly adherent particulates from the liner and also dislodge jammed particulates in the central area of the container or enclosure, stimulating flow.
