APPENDIX F: MV Hopper Loader

1. Description

1.1 What is the MV-Hopper loader

How the MV works

The MV system uses a 3-stage vacuum generator driven by compressed air to create a vacuum that

draws material into a chamber that closes. Once the chamber is filled with material, the cone that

closes the chamber will open and the material will be discharged into the hopper. The system is

equipped with a superior filter to ensure that the finest particles (> 5micron) stay in the system and

are not released into the atmosphere. This makes the MV system the most practical and user-friendly

system for both powders and granules. The hopper loader is operated by the TrueFeed control.

When the MV system is installed on the TrueFeed, it will be triggered by the filling start weight

(CONFIGURATIONS menu). The “hopper empty weight” generates a low-level alarm if the hopper is

empty.
