Standard Hoppers
New England Machinery's standard product line of Hopper/Elevators ranges from 5 to 500 cubic feet. Special multi-feed silo units can provide up to 1000 cubic feet of container storage. Hoppers from 5 to 60 cubic feet are static and rely on gravity. 100 cubic feet or greater are intended to move volume, thereby incorporating a "live" bottom moving belt (the 60 c.f. is offered with an optional live bottom).
Our remotely located Hopper/Elevators can be incorporated to supply your product line through our overhead conveyor system, thus providing maximum line layout.
Dribble/trickle feeding can be obtained through NEM Hopper/Elevators or overhead conveyors with our AC variable speed controls. Our Hopper/Elevator can be utilized to deliver multiple sizes and shapes of components.
Our standard stainless steel bin and elevator construction provides components with clean non-painted contact surfaces as they are transported. Our high floor clearance gives you easy access for quick cleaning.
An optional clean out system allows the Hopper belt to be reversed, and components to exit via a trap door at the back or "loading end" of the elevator. This is extremely helpful when necessary to clear components from the Hopper at the end of a run.
