1-11-1 Material Supply Hoppers
The material supply hoppers are located on top of the blender frame.
These hoppers store a supply of material for the individual metering
devices. They are sized based on the total throughput of the blender.
The SGB blending system does not include any level indication
devices on the unit. Optional low-level sensors are available. The
blender controller will alarm if it runs out of material while trying to
make a batch, but low-level sensors will alert floor personnel to the
problem sooner.
Each hopper is equipped with a sight glass and/or access door.
