Three phase hopper loaders are used for the conveying of plastic granules from silos, day bins or storage bags to the feed hopper of any plastic processing machine, such as an injection moulding machine, extrusion line and blow moulding machine. These units are used on machines where the accessibility and weight restrictions are such that it is necessary for the vacuum pump to be at floor level.
Additionally, the swan control option gives the ability to alter settings on the loader by the wireless hand-held remote control and also has capabilities of working with proportional valves.
The SB Plastics Machinery FTB loader and CTB hopper range is our competitive three phase hopper loaders with a range of vacuum pump sizes. The FTB three phase loader and CTB hopper can also be used in conjunction with a proportional valve.
