Surge hoppers for efficient batch mixing
Streamline your production with surge hoppers engineered to reduce batch cycle times and enhance cleanout efficiency, ensuring seamless integration into your existing mixing operations.
Enhances Mixing and Reduces Batch Cycle Times
The Scott Equipment Surge Hopper seamlessly integrates with heavy-duty horizontal mixers to optimize batch processing for animal feed, pet food, cement, and food manufacturing industries. Equipped with custom-designed conveyor extensions, it allows for flexible discharge options with paddle drag or screw conveyors, supporting inclines up to 45 degrees. Each hopper holds a complete batch, enhancing production flow and facilitating swift cleanout. With batch cycle times as low as 90 seconds, the system streamlines both batch and continuous operations efficiently. Built with durable materials and available with UHMW liners, it promises long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance requirements.
