A Hopper Cylinder stores and distributes hot asphalt mixtures onto the road surface during construction. It consists of a cylindrical body with an internal piston, a rod attached to the piston, and ports for fluid inlet and outlet. When hydraulic fluid is supplied under pressure through the inlet port, it pushes against the piston, causing the rod to extend and retract depending on the design.Attributes:• Provides controlled and regulated discharge of materials• Helps prevent clogging of materialsApplications:A Hopper Cylinder is used to enable precise control over the movement of the hopper by channeling hydraulic fluid to and from the cylinder from the control valve.
