Abstract: An emptying device for emptying a container, in particular a barrel, containing a product. The emptying device including an insulation device, which defines an internal space and allows operations of a user in the internal space without a risk of contamination for the user; a container connection device for connecting the container to the insulation device such that there is no risk of contamination for the user by means of the product; and a conveyor pipe line arranged in the internal space, wherein the conveyor pipe line has a connector end which is attached to a pipe connection arranged in the internal space for guiding the product out of the insulation device and which can be moved for emptying the container such that a conveyor end of the conveyor pipe line is located in the container if the container is connected.

Abstract: Trickling safeguard for a filling station used to fill containers with bulk material, the filling station having a fill tube through which the bulk material flows into the container. The safeguard includes a two-part flap whose dimensions at least match those of the interior cross section of the fill tube and is arranged transverse to the length of the fill tube at the end thereof. The flap parts are pivotable about a shaft so as to lie in the direction of the bulk material stream.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for filling flexible bulk material containers (8), having a balance (1) mounted in the upper area of a standing frame (20) or on a hanging frame, upper carrying means (5) suspended on the load receiving member (2) of the balance for hanging a flexible bulk material container in an upper area thereof, lower carrying means (7) for supporting the flexible bulk material container from below suspended on the load receiving member of the balance, a hoisting mechanism (3) fitted to the load receiving member of the balance for the upper and lower carrying means for moving same between a position in which the lower carrying means is in contact with the ground and a position in which the lower carrying means is raised from the ground, and a filling tube (12) fitted to the load receiving member of the balance for filling the flexible bulk material container from above.
