Because most surge hoppers are made of stainless steel, there is limited visibility of the product flow, so it's only when a downstream process runs out of product that you're aware there is a bridging problem occurring inside.
That's where BFM®'s innovative Venting Surge Hopper comes into its own: because its made of our transparent Seeflex material, you can see instantly if there is a build up of product in real time and take action before it causes problems further down your process. And, because it's malleable, you can quickly and easily 'massage' the walls to free up any potential blockages to keep your process flowing.
