Abstract
A method is disclosed which facilitates the handling of bulk cargos of minerals (particularly coal) agricultural and forest products and their unloading from a storage or shipping container. In accordance with the disclosed method the bulk material is coated with a release agent in a peripheral zone surrounding its mass in areas adjacent the interior wall surfaces of the container. To form such a zone of bulk material coated with release agent, that area of the bulk material is continuously sprayed or dusted with a release agent during loading. Preferably, the interior surfaces of the container are likewise coated with a release agent, either prior to loading or simultaneous with the coating of the bulk material during loading.
