How to measure for a hopper
How do we fit the hopper to the bin? Here is what we need.
- With a steel 100’ tape, measure the circumference (all the way around) the bin in the valley of the corrugation. This measurement is critical to a good fit
- Measure the width of the corrugation. Usually this measures either 2.66” or 4”
The hopper is built slightly smaller than your measurement, allowing the bin to fit snugly over the outside of the hopper.
Typically, the hopper is bolted to existing bins in the bottom valley of the corrugation. The hopper has slotted holes pre-cut but the holes in your bin will need to be drilled once the hopper is in place. Small tabs on the hopper top ring allow you to set the bin down over the ring and it will hold bin at the correct height for fastening.
Standard Features on every Hopper:
-Heavy Duty 18” Rack and Pinion Gate
-19” x 24” Manway with Cover
