Hopper loaders are machines deployed to convey plastic resins such as plastic pellets, plastic powders, and plastic regrind. They have an integral motor that creates vacuum to convey plastic resin materials from a bulk container to a drying hopper or a blender bin.
The picking of the material is accomplished with the help of an aluminum or stainless-steel tube, known as pickup wand, which is connected to a short piece of flex hose attached to the hopper loader. A small control system is integrated to manage load time, dump time, and blowback. The hopper loader motors are generally of a brush type or brushless type. The brushes can last for about 350 hours and after four brush changes, the commutator is generally worn out, and so the motor needs to be replaced periodically.
The market for hopper loader is driven by the demand for plastic goods and plastic packaging materials in various industries such as food & beverage packaging. However, environmental concerns are expected to restrain the use of plastic and plastic handling equipment.
