Walking Floor Hopper
The GTL Walking Floor Hopper is designed to ensure a consistent flow of straw and compost mixtures into downstream process equipment. Material is loaded into the large stainless-steel dump box by a front loader. From there, the walking floor system moves the material forward, while spinners break it up and evenly distribute it into the discharge chute. The chute then directs the flow onto a conveyor system, guaranteeing smooth and efficient transport.
With its robust design, hydraulic drive system, and optional water units, the walking floor hopper offers reliability, durability, and flexibility. It is easy to maintain, resistant to wear, and ensures a steady supply of material for further processing.
