Self-Dumping Hopper

This self-dumping hopper comes in two capacities — 1 yd3 and 2 yd3 — and can handle a full range of dry dusts, including those that need to be reclaimed or recycled after the collection process. Its assembly is designed to provide easy dust disposal while protecting against unwanted dust leakage between the collector and hopper, which are connected by a slide gate and a flexible quick-disconnect hose. The hopper lid is fastened with rubber clamps that create a gasketed seal to prevent the escape of dust. When the hopper is full, the user detaches it from the bottom of the collector, lifts the hopper onto a forklift, and simply pulls a lever to swing the lid open and dump the contents into a larger disposal container.
