The entire Self-Dumping Hopper assembly is designed to provide easy dust disposal while protecting against unwanted dust leakage between the collector and hopper. A slide gate and flexible quick-disconnect hose connect the two components together, and the hopper lid is fastened with rubber clamps that create a gasketed seal to prevent dust from escaping. --- Farr Air Pollution Control

  • INDUSTRY TRENDS
    Stealth Layoffs
    Thomas Allen, director of Security, Student and Career Services for DeVry University in Decatur, Ga. says "You never saw it coming -- it's the stealth layoff. Companies trying to avoid bad PR, jumpy stockholders or demoralized employees are laying off workers with no warning, no explanation. The most important step you can take to survive and flourish after a stealth layoff is to realize it's not your fault. Get over your shock and start networking. Use survivor's guilt to your advantage and network with those still at the company. Your former co-workers know you, your skills and people in your industry. The more contacts you make, the sooner you'll land a new job."
