ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a universal blending system and method for blending the material contents of a silo having a predetermined interior cross-sectional area by layer blending or across vertical columns, column blending, or a combination of layer and column blending.
The presently preferred method of the present invention employs either vertical displacement of a partial vertical column of the silo content to provide a representative mixture in every horizontal cross-section in order to reduce the number of necessary recycles to a minimum or substantially simultaneous multilevel displacement, with subsequent uniform discharge over the whole horizontal cross-section of the silo to remix material that may have been segregated during the filling or recycling. In either event, the presently preferred universal blending system includes a blending bottom whose construction gives the opportunity to make a choice of (1) discharge over only a partial area of the outlet area; (2) uniform discharge over the whole outlet area; or (3) predictable discharge velocity distribution over the outlet area.
