Agitator hoppers are designed specifically for trouble-free dispensing of non free-flowing materials.The NBE Agitator Discharge Hopper is engineered and constructed to assure consistent flow of hard-to-handle materials without bridging or ratholing. That includes most any non free-flowing materials such as regrinds, strapping, latex, styrofoam, film, fluff, etc.
The handling and discharge of these different materials are made possible by the proper combinations of features from NBE. The steep angle of the hopper sides and continuous welds on inside seams prevents material from catching or accumulating. The agitator sweep arms are angled and strategically placed to keep material moving into the discharge trough. They're also adjustable in length to compensate for different material consistency. The discharge trough covers the entire hopper base, further eliminating bridging and hang-ups. And the discharge trough can be specified to accommodate a 4, 6 or 8" auger. The NBE Agitator Discharge Hopper is not only effective at simplifying a difficult job, it is versatile. You can specify several capacities or various take-away systems.
