from excessive processing machine movement or 
vibration. 
 
 
4-5 Mounting 
Tips 
•  Run a bead of silicone sealant around the mounting flange 
before seating the hopper loader. This provides an additional 
seal. 
•  Use rivets to mount the hopper loader. Bolts, nuts, and 
washers can loosen, fall into, and damage process equipment. 
•  Check across the mounting flange with a bubble level. Level 
installation ensures proper material discharge valve 
operation. 
•  Install controller boxes to a non-moving solid structure to 
avoid loosening any wiring from vibration. 
•  Remove all rubber banding and any other packaging 
materials from around the flapper dump valve before 
installation for proper operation. 
4-6  Attaching the Pickup Wand 
Slide the flex hose onto the material inlet and pickup wand. Strip 
material away from the ground wire in the hose and secure the bare 
wire under the hose so it is in contact with the metal tube.  Use the 
hose clamps supplied to secure the flex hose.  
 
The pickup wand can be adjusted for maximum performance. 
Insert it into the material to be conveyed.  Adjust the tube by 
loosening the wing nut at the top and sliding the wand assembly to 
maintain performance. 
 
The material should flow freely and not surge through the hose. 
 
4-7  Making Compressed Air Connections 
Your powder hopper loader requires a clean, dry, 80 to 120 psi 
(551.6 to 827.4 kPa/5.52 to 8.27 bars) compressed air supply. A
