hoppers.
6. Align the weigh hopper on the load cell brackets. Carefully adjust the load cell
brackets to ensure that the weigh hopper is centered on the brackets without rocking.
If for some reason the locating tabs do not align with the weigh hopper, they can
easily be loosened and adjusted.

Site Requirements
This section describes site requirements in detail. These requirements are broken down into
mechanical mounting, electrical connections and pneumatic connections. Since the Slide Gate
Blender is available in several different mounting arrangements, it is necessary for the reader
to become familiar with the different arrangements.
