Abstract: A device for measuring a hard granular object. The device includes a measuring vessel, a holder, a shutter, and a pressing means for pressing the holder against the measuring vessel. The measuring vessel includes a first face, a second face parallel to the first face, and a space formed between the first and second faces for receiving hard granular object supplied from first face side. The holder is located on the side of the first face., includes a through hole communicable with the space, and is slidable along the first face. The shutter is located on the side of the second face, includes a through hole communicable with the space, and is movable parallel to the second face.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a packaging apparatus for packaging a granular object having adsorption ability, which does not spill out of the package when the package is opened. An apparatus for packaging a granular object having adsorption ability comprises a heating device 12 for heating a granular object having adsorption ability, a charging device 30 for charging the granular object into a storage bag 90 having an open end, a sealing device 40 for sealing the open end of the storage bag 90 into which the granular object has been charged, and a cooling device 70 for cooling a storage bag 91 with the granular object kept to be gathered at the bottom of the storage bag 91, wherein the heating device 12 is located upstream of the sealing device 40 along the flowing direction of the granular object.

Abstract: To provide a packaging apparatus for packaging a granular object which can reduce the residual air in a package to prevent expansion thereof with an increase in temperature after sealing. The packaging apparatus comprises a charging device 30 for charging a granular object having adsorption ability into a storage bag 90 having an open end, an air removing device 50 for expelling air from the storage bag 90 into which the granular object has been charged, and a sealing device 40 for sealing the open end of the storage bag 90 from which air has been expelled, wherein the sealing device 40 is actuated with a slight delay after air has been expelled from the storage bag 90 by the air removing device 50.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device for measuring a hard granular object having a measuring vessel, a holder and a shutter which cannot be damaged by a granule caught between them when used to measure a granular object with high hardness and a method for measuring a hard granular object therewith. The present invention also provides a device and a method for removing fine granules from a hard granular object such as spherical adsorptive carbon containing fine granules and measuring the hard granular object.
