Inventor(s) include Wallin, Tomas.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 1, under issue no. 31/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a storage and reclaim system (100) for bulk material (102). The system (100) comprises a bulk material holding space (104) having a bottom portion (108) provided with a discharge port (106). The bottom portion (108) comprises an inclined support plate (112) for supporting the bulk material (102) and for assisting gravity induced feeding of the bulk material (102) towards the discharge port (106). The support plate (112) is supported by a support structure (114) in a free-floating manner. One or more vibrators (116) are connected to the support plate (112) and configured to transfer vibrational energy to the support plate (112) to induce a vibrational movement of the support plate (112). An intermediate layer (122) having vibration isolating properties is arranged between the support structure (114) and the support plate (112). The support structure (114) is damped connected to a major structure (150) by at least one structure vibration damper (126). An abutment vibration damper (130) is arranged between the support plate (112) and the support structure (114), and configured to prevent translation of the support plate (112) downwards towards the discharge port (106). A vessel (200), a land-based storage (300) and a hopper (400) including system (100) are also provided. Moreover, a use of the system (100) for handling of bulk material (102) is also provided."
