A freight container (10) has a base (20) or a portion thereof that can be opened to discharge its contents. This container (10) has a top which can be opened in similar manner as the base. Another container having at least one compartment, each compartment having a lower section with a reducing cross-sectional area and a pivotably operable closure assembly, with several such closure assemblies being linked together by means of bars. Such a container is used to contain raw building materials for stockpiling of these materials at a container port. It is also used to supply materials to a concrete production plant whee pollution control containers are provided below the supply container and above the scaling and mixing stations to reduce particulate pollution. A pair of slewing apparatuses is also provided to engage both ends of a container and turn the container over about its longitudinal axis, thereby emptying its contents.

The invention claimed is: 1. A containerized system for transferring bulk materials, and producing a mixture, being shaped and dimensioned in at least length and width to be handled as a standard freight container comprising: a base, at least a portion of which is openable for discharging contents
The invention claimed is: 1. A containerized system for transferring bulk materials, and producing a mixture, being shaped and dimensioned in at least length and width to be handled as a standard freight container comprising: a base, at least a portion of which is openable for discharging contents of the container therethrough, wherein said base comprises a plurality of downwardly sloped portions spaced apart from each other forming discharge chutes; at least one compartment, the compartment having at least one lower section of reducing cross-sectional area, each leading to an opening, and a closure assembly for the opening, for releasing or retaining the compartment's contents; and a filter means disposed below the closure assembly for allowing fluid to drain through but keeping material inside the container; wherein the container comprises a plurality of moveable covers on said discharge chutes operable to close and open the discharge chutes. 2. The containerized system according to claim 1, wherein the or at least one closure plate is arcuate and is arranged to have a substantially constant gap between it and its opening, as it is opened. 3. A containerized system for transferring bulk materials, and producing a mixture, being shaped and dimensioned in at least length and width to be handled as a standard freight container comprising: a base, at least a portion of which is openable for discharging contents of the container therethrough, wherein said base comprises a plurality of downwardly sloped portions spaced apart from each other forming discharge chutes; at least one compartment, the or each compartment having at least one lower section of reducing cross-sectional area, each leading to an opening, and a closure assembly for the or at least one opening, for releasing or retaining the compartment's contents; lifting means attached to the upper sides of the covers to lift them from above; wherein the container comprises a plurality of moveable covers on said discharge chutes operable to close and open the discharge chutes. 4. The containerized system according to claim 3, wherein said lifting means comprise flexible means chosen from the group comprising: cable, rope and chain. 5. A containerized system for transferring bulk materials, and producing a mixture, being shaped and dimensioned in at least length and width to be handled as a standard freight container comprising: a base, at least a portion of which is openable for discharging contents of the container therethrough, wherein said base comprises a plurality of downwardly sloped portions spaced apart from each other forming discharge chutes; at least one compartment, the or each compartment having at least one lower section of reducing cross-sectional area, each leading to an opening, and a closure assembly for the or at least one opening, for releasing or retaining the compartment's contents; wherein the container includes a plurality of triangular-shaped moveable covers on said discharge chutes operable to close and open the discharge chutes, the triangular-shaped moveable covers oriented so a weight of the bulk material on the covers induces self-closing of the covers. 6. The containerized system according to claim 5, wherein said covers can be vertically lifted to open the discharge chutes for discharge. 7. The containerized system according to claim 6, further comprising an actuator positioned below each of said covers for lifting said covers. 8. The containerized system according to claim 6, further comprising access means to allow actuators to access and lift said covers from below the container. 9. The containerized system according to claim 5, wherein the openable portion of the base comprises at least one pair of two cooperating halves, with one cooperating edge having an overlap over the other when said base is closed. 10. The containerized system according to claim 5, wherein said base further comprises sloping portions along both ends of the container to facilitate the discharge of the contents and prevent materials from accumulating at the ends during discharge. 11. The containerized system according to claim 5, being compartmentalized, the base of each compartment being openable and closable independently of each other. 12. The containerized system according to claim 5, further comprising one or more doors at one or more of the ends and/or sides. 13. The containerized system according to claim 5, wherein at least a portion of the top is slidably or hingably openable. 14. The containerized system according to claim 5, further comprising self locking means for securing the openable base portions in a closed position. 15. The containerized system according to claim 5, further comprising piston means for opening and closing the at least one openable portion of said base. 16. The containerized system according to claim 5, further comprising seal means around the at least one openable portion of said base, to prevent contamination of the movement mechanism and to minimize wastage of materials.
