Inventors:
Norlan L. Ferguson - McPherson KS, US
William Ray Turner - Lincolnville KS, US
Robert Lloyd Babcock - McPherson KS, US
International Classification:

Abstract:
A hopper loader is provided for supplying particulate material to a processing machine. The hopper loader includes a receiver with latching members configured for coupling to a hopper assembly. The hopper assembly includes a hopper which preferably has translucent side walls to permit visual inspection of the contents of the chamber within the hopper, and a filter element positioned atop the receiver which is configured so that particulate material trapped by the filter element will periodically fall back into the chamber for processing without operator intervention.
