New Size of Easy Flow Gravity Hopper
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 2010, Akron, Ohio — Akro-Mils, a North American leader in storage, organization and transport products, introduces a smaller size bin and new rack design for its innovative Easy Flow Gravity Hopper system.
The new smaller, lighter 31620BLUE hopper has a 6-gallon holding capacity. The new size will assist end users in material handling and 5S processes. Features include:
• Compact and space-saving vertical design
• Large, angled top opening allows easy filling
• Can be used on a rack, louvered panel, mounted on a wall, or on a workstation
• First-In-First-Out (FIFO) sliding divider shelf included with 31620 hopper – allows for proper lot rotation
• Rotational molded for strength and durability – LLDPE
• Hopper weight capacity: 31620, 50 lb.
The Easy Flow Gravity Hopper, with custom rack, allows for greater capacity in sorting and stocking work cells, assembly areas and inventory stock. Perfect for 5S or Six Sigma initiatives, the custom rack can be mobilized with the optional dolly and has a 900-lb. load capacity. The new hopper bin also can be used with existing louvered panels by attaching the optional holding bracket to a bin and panel unit. The custom rack and bracket systems keep inventory, work-in-process and parts off the floor and safe from damage.
