HOPPER HOOD
Minequip’s enclosed hopper hood was developed to serve various purposes. First and foremost, it allows the machine operator to safely open the discharge chute on bulk bags, without lowering the bulk bag on to the lip of the hopper. By opening the access door on the side of the hopper hood, the operator can safely and effectively untie the bags without risk of injury. Another benefit of the enclosed hopper hood is dust control. Incorporated into the design, is a round hole that is the same diameter as the discharge chute on the bag. This feature allows the chute of the bulk bag to plug the hole in the hood, and prevents dust from escaping from the hopper. The enclosed hopper hood is available in steel or aluminum, and is designed to fit Aliva AL-237, Aliva AL-246, and Aliva AL-252 machines. Custom hoods for other models are available upon request.
