Designed specifically for handling bulk materials known to generate combustible dust, this agitator-hopper is equipped with explosion protection and control features, including an explosion-venting system to direct and release overpressure to prepared areas. The hopper’s construction includes reinforced walls and cover, and is rated for 4.5 psi internal pressure. The 100-ft3 capacity hopper provides thorough material conditioning, using dual, counter-rotating agitator shafts with a proprietary blade design that directs the material toward the center discharge. — National Bulk Equipment Inc., Holland, Mich.
