They’re engineered construction permits easier cleaning and
maintenance, and they can be quickly and easily reconfigured to
accommodate future production requirements. Simple electrical
and compressed air connections are all that’s needed for operation;
central vacuum systems are not necessary.
Powder hopper loaders use an integral-mount three-stage
centrifugal motor with a quick-disconnect power cord. The
receiver-mounted junction box is pre-wired to the field-mounted
control box. The powder hopper loaderfeatures a high-flow
blowback valve to enhance cleaning its acrylic/mesh flat filter,
providing excellent filtration of conveying air. Powder hopper
loaders also feature a counter-weighed flapper assembly.
