Surge hoppers for efficient batch mixing
In batch mixing operations, reducing cycle times and ensuring swift discharge are critical for maintaining production efficiency. Processing industries often face delays and increased operational costs due to inefficient discharge systems and prolonged cleanout processes.
Enhance discharge speed and efficiency
The surge hopper from Scott Equipment is a specially designed solution for use with their heavy-duty horizontal mixers. This surge hopper effectively reduces batch cycle times and streamlines cleanout processes, resulting in faster and more efficient production runs. Each unit is furnished with a custom conveyor extension tailored to specific applications, offering options for either paddle drag or screw conveyor discharge. Additionally, the surge conveyor can be configured with Scott Equipment’s patented curved section, allowing inclines of up to 45 degrees. This capability makes the system highly flexible and applicable across various industries including animal nutrition, pet food, and food manufacturing.
