Conductive Dry Bulk Hoppers: A New Material Option from Remcon

Remcon now offers a conductive material option for the bottle used in its DBH dry bulk hoppers. Developed with the aim of helping dissipate static charge, the new material gives teams another option to consider alongside capacity, discharge geometry and equipment fit. Suitability should be reviewed for the specific material and process.

What is new about Remcon’s conductive hopper bottle material?

The conductive blend is molded into the hopper bottle itself, with static dissipation as its design objective. Remcon is applying material development to an existing dry bulk hopper design, giving teams a new bottle material option to discuss for their handling requirements.

Why consider static when choosing a dry bulk hopper?

Static charge can build as dry materials move through handling equipment. Reviewing where static becomes a concern, and how material is loaded, moved and discharged, helps define the conditions the hopper will encounter. Material selection should be considered together with the product, process and equipment.

Which DBH hopper features does the new option retain?

The DBH-60/45 configuration combines a 45-cubic-foot bottle with a 60-degree hopper base. Its cone design is intended to facilitate discharge without contributing to segregation of blended dry bulk products.

Remcon’s quick-release arrangement allows the bottle to separate from its base. The DBH bottle can be used with most bulk bag discharge frames; confirm compatibility with your specific frame and discharge arrangement.

Explore the Remcon DBH dry bulk hopper series for configuration details and discharge options.

What should you share with Remcon about your application?

To discuss the conductive hopper bottle material, share:

• The powder, granule or blend you handle.

• How the material is loaded, moved and discharged.

• The static concern that prompted your search.

• The frame and discharge equipment the hopper needs to work with.

• Any application requirements the bottle material needs to meet.
