A reciprocable, enclosed hopper for service between a fixed feedspout and subjacent, non-fixed, tank-truck inlets. Included are sloping bottom walls in the hopper adjacent the outlet and a plurality of internal deflecting-baffles arranged on fixed or changeable slopes to cause multiple changes in the direction of travel and de-aeration of the solids passing through the enclosed hopper. A vibrator may be associated with the hopper bottom-walls to assist material flow. |
