Ground Hoppers
Our standard auger-driven transport system Ground Hopper provides reliable conveying of powders such as calcium carbonate blends, ATH blends, as well as granules and other fine particle or lightweight fillers to fill the metering hoppers of Autocaster and Batchmaster metering machines. Does not include self-metering.
The Self-Metering Ground Hopper combines a robust ground hopper containing combined with a sophisticated PLC control system that provides touch-screen control of a conveying and metering system to deliver bulk materials to any mixing vessel.
The Self-Metering Ground Hopper that can be calibrated and set to dispense specified amounts of filler in any desired mixing vessel. A touch screen interface allows the user to specify the desired amount of filler to be dispensed or use one of 4 preset amounts.
NOTE: Designed for use for material metering and/or dispensing applications, and are not used with Autocaster casting or Batchmaster batching machines.
Automated metering of lightweight powder bulk filler over extended distances utilizing a positive pneumatic pressure (air) transport system.
Automatically meter and transfer lightweight filler material over extended distances with a Pneumatic-transport Ground Hopper. This eliminates the requirement for an auger, and allows the Ground Hopper to be placed in a more remote location - out of the way of the Autocaster casting system or the Batchmaster mixing station.
Now, you can supply lightweight powder fillers like CalCarb/Lightweight powder blends and ATH blends to TWO different metering hoppers from a single Pneumatic Ground Hopper with the Dual-Feed model!
For situations where you need your Ground Hopper to be movable or portable.
In some cases, your bulk filler handling system is not required to be a fixed location, and you may benefit by moving your Gruber Ground Hopper to where you need it for a given use. Portability offers added convenience and added value to your Bulk Filler Handling investment.
