Surge Bins
Eagle hoppers are equipped with slide shut-off gates for gravity discharge and have the option of being equipped with vacuum ports for vacuum discharge. Gravity discharge is facilitated by a steep hopper slope. Either one piece or two piece hinged covers are available.
Because the hoppers are portable, your production operations become more efficient. Hoppers can be equipped with casters for another mobile dimension.

Dual Discharge Options
The Portable Hoppers/Surge Bins come with two distinct discharge mechanisms, making them adaptable to various material handling systems:
Gravity Discharge (Standard Feature)
- The hopper is designed with a slide shut-off gate, allowing materials to flow out purely under the influence of gravity.
- This method is highly efficient for free-flowing powders, granules, and other dry materials that do not require forced extraction.
- The steep slope of the hopper ensures a smooth and uninterrupted flow, preventing material buildup.
- Ideal for applications where direct unloading into a conveyor, packaging system, or another processing unit is required.
Vacuum Discharge (Optional Feature)
- Hoppers can be equipped with vacuum ports, enabling materials to be extracted using an external vacuum system.
- This method is beneficial for controlled material handling, minimizing dust and spillage.
- Useful in applications where material needs to be transferred to another location without direct gravitational flow, such as in pneumatic conveying systems.
- Ensures efficient material handling in enclosed environments, reducing contamination risks.
Optimized Hopper Design
The steep hopper slope enhances material flow, reducing buildup and ensuring efficient, consistent discharge.
Customizable Cover Options
Available with either one-piece or two-piece hinged covers to suit various operational needs and material handling requirements.
Enhanced Mobility
Portable design with optional caster wheels allows easy movement and repositioning within the production facility, improving workflow efficiency.
Durable Construction
Built with heavy-duty materials to withstand industrial use while maintaining structural integrity, even under high-capacity loads.
