ABSTRACT:
A liquid agitator system for a hopper of a hopper barge includes a trunk conduit assembly and associated pumping means for pumping water under pressure to the hopper, being there coupled through a valve to a branch conduit assembly which extends downwardly into the hopper centrally thereof to an array of eccentric water discharge nozzles arranged closely adjacent to the hopper bottom for ejecting water at a velocity and in a volume sufficient to break up agglomerations of solid material and prevent the formation thereof on the hopper bottom and direct the resulting slurry to discharge ports. A barge having several hoppers is disclosed, with a nozzle array and branch conduit assembly for each hopper.
