Refuse Chute Hopper

In any system for refuse disposal, the chute hopper is paramount to overall efficiency and protection. It must work easily, seal effectively against flames, smoke, smells and dust, and resist vandalism.

It should also be user friendly to caretakers carrying out chute maintenance, and be durable and smart in appearance. In the event of a fire it must be capable of containing the fire in the chute, thus preventing the spread into common areas or through the building.

All DMC Hoppers collectively and comprehensively meet all of these requirements. It has been thoroughly tried and developed for over Four decades and is now successfully installed in thousands of residential blocks around the country, with particular emphasis on areas with history of vandalism. To achieve this our hoppers are very heavily constructed in 3mm mild steel, shot blasted, primed and powder-coated in grey (RAL7073) and is of a strong and simple anti-vandal design. Other colours are also available to client requirements.

A simple key facilitates removal of the inner section to enable tube clearance or maintenance to be carried out, and the same key locks the hopper shut for safety when working below.

The hopper comes in standard sizes to replace most other designs currently installed, and is available with or without a large back plate which ensures good fixings away from the aperture as well as covering existing finishes which are often damaged as a result of misuse.

All security fixings are clean in appearance and are difficult to remove, specially shaped back plates can be made to suit specific installations.

The hopper carries a 4 1/4 fire-rated certificate.
