    Abstract: Reusable, flexible, lightweight, low cost flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) for the delivery of granular proppant material for fracing that will allow the transport of higher weights of proppant, such as sand, per truck load. The invention includes a container made of a high strength, flexible material with a top opening for loading and deploying the proppant. The container can be lifted and deployed with a fork truck or crane. Alternatively, proprietary deployment systems, such as a conveyor system, can be used to quickly and efficiently deploy the proppant from the container at a desired site.

    Abstract: A tipping hopper includes a hopper body, hopper rotating supports and a tipping mechanism. The tipping mechanism comprises a connecting rod and a crank. One end of the connecting rod is hinged on the hopper body, and the other end is hinged with one end of the crank; and the other end of the crank is hinged on a crank rotating support through a crank rotating shaft. By optimizing a crank starting point and a crank end point, ensure hopper's position of receiving and discharging material is arranged at or near a dead point of the tipping mechanism so that the working condition of an impact force borne by a speed reducer device is optimized when the tipping hopper is charged and discharged. The mechanism also optimizes the position of the center of gravity of the hopper body and the position of the center of gravity of a charged hopper, so that the center of gravity of the hopper body is located between a hopper rotating hinge point and the connecting rod support hinge point near the hopper rotating hinge point. A force amplification effect of the connecting rod is used to greatly reduce the requirement for the output moment of the speed reducer, thereby greatly reducing the weight of the speed reducer device and the power of a tipping motor and saving motor power and energy consumption of a hoisting system.

    Abstract: A heavy-duty, thermoplastic storage bin comprises a rectilinear base, spaced columns integrally formed with the base, and rectangular end and side panels that are foldable and erectable with respect to the base. At least one of the panels is detachable from the base. At least one central column having an integral portion protrudes upwardly from an upper base surface and is interlockable with a corresponding side panel at a bottom center region, for generating a sufficiently high sagging resisting moment. In a method for emptying the bin, the base is supported by a forklift, after the bin has been loaded with desired products. Following a material handling operation by the forklift, a tilting device carried by the forklift is operated to sufficiently change a disposition of the bin such that the loaded products are caused to be emptied while a side panel remains engaged with the central and corner columns.
