Improved Dual Stage Hopper

A robust abrasive delivery assembly designed to manage and regulate the flow of garnet abrasive in Flow Waterjet cutting systems. This hopper provides a two-stage reservoir that stabilizes abrasive supply to the metering system, helping prevent feed interruptions and ensuring smooth, consistent abrasive delivery during cutting operations. Its durable construction makes it suitable for high-volume production environments where continuous abrasive management is critical.

Service note: This improved hopper assembly plays a key role in abrasive delivery by maintaining a stable reserve and helping regulate feed into the metering system. Proper setup and periodic checks for wear or blockages can help avoid inconsistent feed rates that may affect cutting performance and abrasive consumption.
