METHOD FOR SEPARATING WET STICKY MATERIALS FROM WALLS OF CONTAINER Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: unloading operations. SUBSTANCE: proposed method for separating wet sticky materials from walls of a container involves creation of liquid interlayer between the electrode and material to be unloaded by connecting the negative pole of the DC current source to the electrode and the positive pole to the surface of the container. After that liquid interlayer is created by passing DC current through the material. To this end the negative pole of the DC current source is connected to the surface of the container and the positive pole to the electrode, which is in contact with the material. EFFECT: improved efficiency. 1 dwg
