Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0021814A1] A rigid frame assembly for use as a removable bulkhead in standard transport containers fitted with a flexible liner bag for use in transporting bulk loads of granular or powder material, such as skim milk powder, chocolate crumb, refined sugar etc., comprises two side elements (1, 2) each having engagement lugs (9) which extend downwardly from the lower end of each side element, and engage into corresponding slots in the floor (11) of a container (10), while the upper end of each side element engages with the roof (12) of the container, adjacent to the container opening. The side elements (1, 2) are of such dimension that when positioned one in each lateral side of the container opening they partly close the opening but define between them a passage through which an operator can pass during loading of the container. A central element (3) fits between and engages with the side elements (1, 2) to close or partly close off the passage, thereby defining in the frame assembly a loading (15) and/or a discharge (16) aperture. Suitably each element of the frame is made by joining two spaced apart uprights (4, 5) or (6, 7) by cross-planks (8) and constructed from aluminium.
