  • Patent number: 9126773
    Abstract: The object of the present invention is to suction all powders and granular materials in a container such as a drum to transport them. The powders and granular materials have low flowability, since over time they have been compacted due to their own weight or vibrations from the outside or humidity. The machine (1) for suctioning powders and granular materials comprises movable tables (2, 3) that the container that stores the powders and granular materials is mounted on and that horizontally move, a device (8) for driving the tables, a double-layered suction nozzle (11) that is located above the tables and is connected to a suction source, a device (12) for moving the nozzle up and down in the container mounted on the tables, and a controller for controlling the devices, wherein, while moving the tables, the suction nozzle is inserted in proper positions in the container to suction the powders and granular materials.
