Hopper Loader Accessories & Spare Parts

We offer a wide range of parts to fix or upgrade your machine’s material loader hoppers, allowing you to keep your business moving. With a cutting-edge vacuum loader installed into your machine’s conveying system, you can simplify operations and reduce wasted time and materials. Some of our hopper loader products and accessories are as follows:

  • Stainless Steel Hoppers – These are available in three sizes, with the option of including a quick-release lid. Sizes:
    • 9”
    • 12”
    • 16”
  • Spare Top Housings – Tired of stopping production just to change colors? Our spare house toppings let you do color changes in a snap — no tools required.
  • Slidegate – This option provides a convenient way to manually shut off the flow of flood-fed material, allowing you to perform production changes or swap the hopper.
  • Integrated Mini-Central Vacuum – Never miss a beat with our vacuum loaders. They automatically sense when levels are low and reload for you. We offer two types:
    • CB-100: Brush Type Blower
    • CB-300: Brushless Blower
  • Feeders – Need to add another component to your blender? We have you covered.
  • Blow Back Filter Cleaning – Over time, dust will accumulate on your filter as a result of loading materials. This air pulsing filter cleaning is the perfect solution.
  • Inlet Tube Magnet – When working with limited overhead clearance, an inlet tub magnet is an ideal solution, as it eliminates the need for a large magnet box. Plus, installation can be done in seconds without any tools. There are two options:
    • AC-021: for 1.5” diameter inlets
    • AC-022: for regrind applications with 2.0” diameter inlets
  • Alarm Strobe Light – This light acts as a visual aid to allow operators to easily see when an alarm condition is occurring.
  • Ethernet Module – Choose this option to allow you to monitor your machines remotely.

These are only a few of the accessories we offer to enhance or repair your hopper loaders. Whether you need a reliable regrind receiver, vacuum accessories, or any other additional materials to improve your hopper loader’s vacuum conveying system, you can find everything you need right here at Plastrac.
