Metalfab, Inc. has announced availability of their redesigned bulk bag dump hopper. he new model features a smaller plant footprint with resized, more efficient bin vent filter, and provides a quick, easy, and virtually dust-free way of dumping and filling a process system with material received in paper bags.  The design incorporates a baffle and bin vent (which can be attached to a central dust collector), or optional, highly efficient bin vent filter over the dump area to maintain a dust-free worker environment.

Ruggedly built for continuous, long lasting operation, the unit has a hinged door to keep foreign materials from falling into process material when not in use and expanded metal grid to prevent bag pieces from getting into the system.  The dump hopper’s specially designed exit cone is also easily transitioned to accommodate other Metalfab downstream equipment such as MetaTech™ Volumetric Screw Feeders or “Better-Weigh”® Gravimetric “Loss-in Weight” or “Gain-in-Weight” Feeders for either batch or continuous feeding, Convey-All™ Flexible Screw or Vibratory Tube Conveyors, a rotary valve for pneumatic conveying systems and other related equipment.
