Storage Bins and Hoppers
Bins & Hoppers: In-Use Advantages
View NBE Storage in Action

NBE storage bins and hoppers provide dry bulk material processing operations an efficient, space-saving, cost-effective, and clean method for temporary storage or transport of dry material; particularly when compared to gaylord containers. A versatile alternative to fixed conveyors and silo storage, NBE bins and hoppers are easily moved throughout a facility using a forklift or by simply rolling on locking casters. And, temporary bulk material storage is efficiently handled with stackable, high-capacity bins.
Bins & Hoppers: Features & Integration Guide
Mobile Stor Hoppers:
NBE Mobile Stor dry bulk hoppers are designed to offer multiple dry bulk material storage capacities and configurations for material processing operations requiring temporary, offline bulk material holding. Hoppers and frames are constructed of heavy duty carbon steel; 304 stainless steel construction is also available. Hopper capacities range from 10 cubic feet to 150 cubic feet. Dry bulk material hopper options, including: agitation devices, epoxy finishes, and material view windows.
