ABSTRACT:
A material handling hopper has an open top box with a chamber for holding bulk material. A bottom conveyor operates to remove material from the chamber. A divider located in the chamber reduces the bridging and packing of material in the chamber. The divider is an inverted V-shaped member secured to end walls of the box. The width of the inverted V-shaped member increases in the direction of movement of the conveyor. The divider is covered with low friction material to facilitate the flow of material around the divider.
