OverviewMaterial changes are fast, clean and simple with this removable polycarbonate hopper for processing machines. No tools are required to hinge the lid and withdraw the miniature see-through hopper cone from its compact frame. A dribble-proof slide gate automatically engages when the hopper is removed, allowing remaining material to be returned to a gaylord, bag or barrel. The Miniature Handy Hopper also functions as an efficient supply hopper above additive feeder throats.
