HOW IT WORKS
Four simple steps to unload a hopper with the vacuum adapter:
-
- Roll it under the hopper gate and lock the wheels.
- Attach the 22oz heavy-duty vinyl around the hopper to control spillage and dust.
- Connect the hose.
- Press “start” on your pneumatic conveyor and unload the hopper.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Industrial-duty construction with aluminum product contact areas with painted carbon steel legs and handle.
- Heavy-duty locking castors make positioning and securing the adapter a breeze.
- Telescoping legs to accommodate various hopper heights.
- Operators love the extended handle for easy movement.
- Heavy-duty flexible 22oz Vinyl Coated Polyester dust shroud prevents material from falling or blowing out.
- Ball-valve or blast gate allows the operator to adjust the material-to-air ratio for maximum output without plugging.
- Line cleanout port included for material inducement.
Ask us about using a USS Hop-Vac™ Adapter with a USS Skidpot™ and save a ton of money while conveying tons of material.
The USS SKIDPOT™ on the left side of the screen vacuums material through the HOP-VAC™ Adapter, sweeping it into the “pot”.
The system then switches modes to pressure and the pot pressurizes sending the material to the silo. The cycle continues until the hopper is empty.
This truck is carrying an ingredient for a fish food manufacturer. Both hoppers were unloaded in under 2 hours with no mess, spillage, contamination, or fuss.
Trucks. They transport a massive amount of dry bulk material across the world and we’re here to help transport material in and out of the trucks themselves.
There are many advantages to pneumatic truck unloading compared to mechanical conveying. Less moving parts means less breakdowns, and an enclosed system means easy dust control. Another important advantage is flexibility in routing – we can convey material to places others can’t.
