Heavy Duty Concrete Hopper

Heavy - duty concrete hoppers are an excellent choice for collecting large volumes of concrete and precisely guiding the concrete flow into the forming setup. Here are the key features: They are crafted from industrial - grade polyethylene, offering outstanding strength and long - lasting durability. A steel - reinforced ring beneath the top edge further enhances strength and rigidity, ensuring top - notch performance. You can choose between 8” or 12” discharge options according to your desired flow rate. These hoppers can be used with PVC elephant trunks and/or PVC tremie pipes to effectively direct the concrete flow. OCM Part No. CHHD36 - 8 - 12 has a size of 36' x 36', a discharge range of 8' - 12', and weighs 26 lb.

Using this heavy - duty concrete hopper is quite straightforward. First, make sure to place it stably in the forming setup area. Then, connect it with PVC elephant trunks or PVC tremie pipes if needed. Start pouring the concrete into the hopper, and it will direct the flow as expected. When choosing the discharge option, think about how fast you want the concrete to flow. If you need a slower flow, go for the 8” option; for a faster flow, choose the 12”. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the hopper thoroughly to prevent concrete from hardening inside. Check the steel - reinforced ring regularly for any signs of damage. Also, store it in a dry place to avoid any issues with the polyethylene material. Remember, always handle it with care to ensure its long - term performance.
