Hoppers
For many years
the principal attributes required of refuse hoppers were vandal resistance, fire containment and durability. Of
recent years there has been a growing demand for the additional attribute of smoke containment. In the absence
of specific tests for this, the company subjected the DMC hopper to the BS tests for air permeability for windows.
The results showed that the air and therefore, the smoke permeability
of the DMC hopper were better than most requirements of the British Standard.

The DMC 1.5hr RATED REFUSE HOPPER.

The DMC Refuse Hopper.
This hopper is robustly constructed from 3mm mild steel and
finished shot blast to min SA2.5, powder prime Akzo Nobel System P660 Thermosetting Epoxy Primer rich in Zinc for
protective properties and powder coat polyester RAL7037 ( or to suit customer requirements ) to minimum 50 microns
applied and cured according to manufacturers instructions.It is of a strong but simple anti-vandal design and is
offered in a wide range of sizes so that, in refurbishment work, it can replace most other hoppers currently available.
The inner section is sealed against dust, smells and smoke
by a recently specially designed seal, which acts on all four contact faces.
The construction also gives excellent fire protection, and
the patented hinge arrangement is the key contributer to its anti-vandal reputation.
