Hopper with Transport Conveyor
Specifications
BM Hopper is ideal for storage and transportation of most ingredients used for compound feeds.
The two vertical sides and the auger that is open along the entire length of the hopper substantially reduce the risk of baulking.
Stainless or Galvanized
Mineral compounds can act rather aggressively on steel. To make sure that the hopper sides remain smooth, we recommend using a hopper with a stainless container. Alternatively, we can supply containers with a powder painted finish. For meal and non-aggressive materials, we recommend our favourably priced galvanized hoppers.
Three Sizes
BM Hopper is available in three sizes. Type 100 measures 1 x 1m and contains 390 litres. Type 150 measures 1.5 x 1m and contains 600 litres Type 160 measures 1.6 x 1m and contains 720 litres.
Top Sections
Available for type 100: A 38 cm (340 litres) and a 88 cm (800 litres).
Available for type 150: A 38 cm (523 litres) and a 88 cm (1212 litres).
Available for type 160: A 30 cm (450 litres) and a 90 cm (1360 litres).
When fitting a number of top sections it may be necessary to mount an inverted vee over the auger flight. However, this may increase the risk of baulking. Cover available in all sizes.
Hopper with 102 mm Auger
A very dependable solution. Even mineral compounds with high-fat content can be conveyed using the fixed 102mm auger. The horizontal hopper trough auger ends in a Ø 150 mm discharge prepared for direct connection to the inlet of a 102 mm screw conveyor. The conveyor moves the materials at a variable angle ranging from 0° to 60° up to a max. length of 10 metres.
Drive Unit
BM hoppers are available with a worm gear motor.
Big Bag Grating
Big bag grating can be supplied for both type 100, 150 and type 160 hoppers.
