Iron Bull dust hoppers offer fast, tool-free connection to dust collectors

Iron Bull has introduced dust hoppers with optional pneumatic connectors designed to improve dust collection efficiency and workplace safety. These hoppers provide a fast, tool-free connection to existing dust collectors, allowing granular waste to be emptied quickly and securely without loosening and tightening bands. The design keeps dust contained, reducing airborne particles and creating a cleaner environment for employees.

Featuring a bottom-discharge design, Iron Bull hoppers offer significantly increased capacity compared to traditional barrels or bags. For example, a three-inlet hopper holds 1.3 cubic yards — equivalent to five bags, a 67% increase — reducing the frequency of emptying and enhancing plant efficiency. Capacities range from ¾ yard to 12 yards, with standard models compatible with most major dust collector and bag house brands. Custom solutions are available for unique operational requirements.

Iron Bull hoppers include a sight glass to monitor fill levels, and forklift compatibility allows safe transport and emptying. The Dump-From-Seat option enables operators to empty the hopper from the forklift seat, minimizing exposure to dust.

These hoppers are suitable for all types of granular waste, including sawdust, silica fines, sand, and chemical or food processing byproducts. By simplifying waste collection, reducing filter plugging, and dust in the air on surfaces, Iron Bull dust hoppers help manufacturers improve operational efficiency, employee safety, and workplace cleanliness.

All Iron Bull dust hoppers are manufactured in Marshall, Indiana, feature industry-leading lead times, and come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Engineering support is available to assist with sizing and application-specific guidance.
