Abstract (en)
[origin: CA1175627A] A storage silo adapted to difficultly-flowing bulk materials to be discharged at the bottom of the silo. A baffle is disposed in a cylindrical container. The baffle is attached to the cylindrical container wall and runs inclined along said wall to the silo bottom. Baffle sections extend along a helical path over a central angle of at least about 360 degrees and are substantially continuously connected. At least some baffle sections following in circumferential direction along the silo wall are staggered with respect to each other increasing with the distance from the bottom. The baffle is preferably provided as a helical band. The pitch angle of the baffle relative to the cylindrical wall can be from about 15 to 30 degrees. A heating element can be provided to allow for heating of at least part of the baffle.
