Venturivac Sack Hopper
Park Process manufactures venturi hoppers for the easy addition of dry materials into a liquid stream. Pumping liquid through the eductor nozzle and on through the Venturi section creates a low-pressure zone between these two components. Material is introduced through a conical hopper by gravity into this low-pressure zone where the motive fluid entrains and carries it to the desired discharge point.
The VenturiVac eductors can be combined with a feed hopper to facilitate the addition of chemicals to the eductor’s suction port. This equipment can be skid mounted to enable it to be moved from one location to another. Feed hoppers range in size from 18” diameter conical shaped hoppers for sack material to 2.5 cu. yd. inverted pyramid hoppers for bulk bag unloading. The addition of a feed pump to the VenturiVac skid creates a self-contained system. Fluid can be pumped from the source then fed to the VenturiVac where dry powder chemicals are added and sent to a receiving tank, a process system, vessel or holding pond.
