Powder material hopper system with offset loading

A hopper system (20) for powder material includes a hopper (35) and a cover (60). The hopper (35) has hopper sidewalls (37-44) that extend downward from an upper end of the hopper with at least one of the hopper sidewalls (41) being sloped along a portion thereof. A hopper axis extends vertically be...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A hopper system (20) for powder material includes a hopper (35) and a cover (60). The hopper (35) has hopper sidewalls (37-44) that extend downward from an upper end of the hopper with at least one of the hopper sidewalls (41) being sloped along a portion thereof. A hopper axis extends vertically between at least some of the hopper sidewalls (37-44). The cover (60) is disposed at the upper end of the hopper (35) and includes an opening (64) configured for the powder material to flow therethrough and into the hopper (35). The opening (64) defines a vertical material loading axis that is offset relative to the hopper axis. A diverter member (80) may be provided that is positioned along the material loading axis and configured to divert the powder material entering through the opening (64). A powder material feed system(55) may be disposed adjacent the lower end of the hopper (35) to feed the powder material from the hopper (35).
