Abstract
An apparatus for containing a fluent material includes a fluent material containing bag with a valve; a container having a bottom and a discharge region beneath the bottom, the container containing the bag so that the valve drains the bag from the discharge region; and a pallet for supporting the container without interfering with the discharge region. Also, a method for using the apparatus by preparing to empty the container, which includes the steps of: removing a first knock-out portion; bending a bendable portion of the container into a receiving region of the pallet; removing a second knock-out portion; and pulling a portion of the valve through openings created by removing the first and second knock-out portions so that pad member holding the valve fits with the bendable portion of the container. In this way, a discharge region is formed beneath the bottom of the container from which the valve drains the bag.
