Information may not be reliable

If you're in the business of recycling yard waste, leaves, food waste, wood chips, hay, manure and other types of harvest material, you will need a durable, heavy duty self dumping hopper to handle the loads. There are specific kinds of hoppers designed for your industry, whether you're in farming, recycling or food handling. To address your unique purposes, you need a versatile self dumping hopper made from stainless steel that will resist corrosion and stand up to the rigors of your warehouse or farming operation demands.

Rotator Boxes

Because you're in the business of dealing with leaves, waste, grains, hay, soil, and other harvest materials, it can get pretty messy. That's why you need hoppers and rotator boxes that can withstand those contents and keep them properly contained. For example, standard rotator boxes, made from carbon steel for the ultimate in rugged construction, typically feature drains with plugs and continuous welding for watertight seals. These are ideal for keeping shredded materials, wood chips, recycled material and bulk materials that are typical by-products in your industry.

Self Dumping Hoppers

When it comes to hoppers, you'll need a galvanized steel self dumping hopper designed for sewage and waste water, harvest, fishery and outside material handling purposes. This piece of equipment can resist any corrosion that may develop in damp conditions, backed by the strength of hot dipped galvanized steel. The Watering Self Dumping Hopper is another wise choice if you commonly deal with pulp, aggregate, waste or water, ideal for collecting and draining wet materials. This results in a reduction in operational costs, and increase in production and a boost in worker safety. Another good option for those who work with metal chips, wood shavings, turnings and saw dust is the 90Self Dumping Hopper, which works on a smaller scale to safely transport these materials up to 2,000 pounds. Stainless self dumping hoppers are specifically designed for use in the food, beverage, harvest and chemical industries because they provide a watertight seal and corrosion resistance. This is especially useful because these types of self dumping hoppers demand cleanings several times a day. The stainless steel will guard against rust forming. Lined hoppers may also be useful on these applications, as they protect the hopper from any liquids or other harvest materials.
