Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9722857A1] To load flour in a mill, loading systems are known with at least one filling nozzle (10-13) connected via a shut-off unit (14) to an essentially stationary reservoir (15-18), silo or holding container and designed for coupling to several filling apertures (30-36) of a vehicle (29) to be loaded. With this known system, a weigh-bridge (47) is provided to determine the total weight of the vehicle (29) plus load. To allow connection of the filling nozzles (10-13) with the various filling apertures (30-36) of the vehicle (29) one after the other (or simultaneously), conveyers (22, 23) are provided, in particular troughed chain conveyors. This makes it difficult to keep to precise measured loads for the vehicle (29). In addition, the flour can easily be contaminated. It is proposed that the weighing system (40) should be designed with a conveyor device such that the vehicle's filling apertures (30-36) can be connected one after the other to the filling nozzles (10-13) by moving the vehicle (29), thereby eliminating the need for a horizontal conveyor. The flour, in particular in a fluidised state, can be fed through pipelines.
