20210340717 | VIBRATOR ARRANGEMENT FOR IMPROVING BUILDING SOIL - A vibrator arrangement for building soil improvement includes a sluice with a silo tube and a sluice drive for moving the sluice. The sluice is adapted to receive a bulk material and to guide the bulk material into the silo tube. A feed container for feeding the bulk material to the sluice is included and a feed container drive is provided for moving the feed container between a waiting position and an abutment position at the sluice. Also, a method for transferring bulk material from a feed container into a sluice with a silo tube of a vibrator device includes moving the sluice with a sluice drive and moving the feed container filled with the bulk material a between a waiting position and an abutment position at the sluice while the sluice is moving. | 2021-11-04 |
