VAC-U-MAX dump hoppers allow for extended vacuuming times and large-volume recovery of dry materials only. The heavy-duty reinforced containers are constructed of carbon steel with a grey epoxy finish, and are rated for 16” Hg (220” / 5500 mm waterlift) maximum vacuum.
Compared to self-dumping (roll-forward) hoppers:
•Bottom discharge style keeps the center of gravity close to the forklift mast and eliminates potential pinch points
•Square shaped bottom discharge hopper reduces the footprint by 40% compared to self-dumping roll-forward hoppers
•40% Larger discharge opening as compared to self-dumping hoppers
Pull chain design with vertical lever allows forklift operator to discharge contents without leaving the fork lift
•Inspection door which allows for easy visual inspection of contents
•Faster, more reliable discharge angle of 45-degrees
•Eliminates the roll-forward motion and sudden weight shift to the end of the forks
