Scale/Hopper Receivers
Shick Esteve scaling and receiving hoppers are used in pressure, vacuum and gravity applications. These concentric and eccentric units are available in a wide range of capacities and are most often filled pneumatically through the use of a Shick Esteve diverter valve. The eccentric hopper design is often used when multiple vessels/scales share a common discharge point or area.
