			After lengthy overview of the CEB Press designs, my group identified some basic flaws with the hopper design, which long term should be improved.

			- Secondly the hopper itself is solidly mounted to the device frame. This reduces overall vibration in the hopper, again allowing aggregate to settle inside the hopper rather than flow at an optimal rate. The hopper needs to be mounted securely to the device through the use of vibration damping rubber mounts, or some kind of spring loaded mount. But allowed to float inside the chute.

			Using this method would conform to industrial standards where any chute or hopper is used in conjunction with a shaker. The entire hopper needs to be allowed to shake in order for the shaker to really do its job. Otherwise you're just wasting energy to shake something that you have built to withstand shaking.

			We've never seen a hopper with a straight face or that was bolted solid. They are always fastened to spring loaded mounts of some kind. This will also increase the life of the machine. Breakdown will occur at the mounts which are only a few dollars, rather than in the frame or structure of the device which are more expensive in both time and material.

			Those are just my thoughts,
