FIELD: materials handling. SUBSTANCE: device has supporting column whose lower end is secured in storage floor, and auger hinge-connected to lower end of column to turn around horizontal axis of hinge joint from vertical position in which it is arranged almost parallel to vertical axis of column, through intermediate angular positions into horizontal position in which it is arranged close to storage floor. Suspension cable is connected with supporting column and auger for turning the auger around horizontal axis of hinge joint. Supporting column and auger connected to column are rotated around vertical axis by means of drive. Auger is rotated around its longitudinal axis by means of motor arranged at side of its outer end. Simultaneous rotation of auger around its longitudinal axis and supporting column around its vertical axis provides successive displacement of loose material layers towards discharge hole in center of storage at each full revolution of column. Device has also auxiliary auger to displace loose material accumulating before drive motor. EFFECT: possibility of unloading of loose material from storage filled up to capacity. 18 cl, 6 dwg
