Improved Flow in Cement Hopper

Here is a mortar hopper for a precast plant. The liner that is installed is two different types of plastic with no releasing agent. The liner was installed with hex bolt self-tapping screws, leaving the head exposed to catch material. The two materials overlap each other creating yet another hang-up point.

This is the same hopper from a different view. Here you can really see the mortar hanging on to the plastic. This can cause multiple problems; time it takes to clean out the mortar that is stuck to the walls and safety of the person who must hang over the rail to clean the hopper out.

This hopper was relined with TIVAR® 88-2 and countersunk self-tapping screws. The seams are plastic welded to create a seamless liner that is highly resistant to bulging and tearing. This ensures that the liner stays in place and provides long-lasting protection for your hopper.
