Plastic-wrapped hopper cuts dryer energy use.A new energy-efficient drying hopper A tray, or chute, that accepts input to a mechanical device, such as a disk duplicator or printer. In the days of punch cards, millions of cards were numerically or alphabetically organized by placing them into the hopper of a card sorter, taking them out of all the stackers and putting from Dri-Air Industries Inc., East Windsor East Windsor is the name of the following places in the United States of America:

plastic cover reportedly provides a 7% to 10% energy savings compared
with all-steel The All-Steel was produced by the All-Steel Motor Car Co. or St Louis, Missouri from 1915 to 1916. Also known as the Alstel, it had a rather conventional 4-cylinder engine, but had a unique narrow platform backbone frame that enclosed the propeller shaft and gearbox. hoppers. The hopper is available in 5- to 2000-lb
capacities.
Also new from Dri-Air is the Mini-Feed metering device for small-shot molding. It moves small amounts of dried material from the drying hopper to the feed throat of the processing machine. Currently, the amount of material stored outside the hopper in distribution boxes and machine-mounted receivers can amount to 2 to 4 hr of storage. As a result, the dried material is likely to pick up moisture. The Mini-Feed ensures that the dried material is kept in the hopper until the receiver calls for new material.

Not all modern looms use a shuttle; shuttleless looms draw the weft from a nonmoving supply. moves a fixed amount, as small as 7 g, into a moving air stream to be sent to the receiver.
