CEB Press/Manufacturing Instructions/Hopper sheet metal

Tools

• Torch

• Welder

• Hole punch with 3/4" dies

Materials

• [12] Door Hinges

• [12] 1/2" x 1 1/2" bolts

• [12] 1/2" washers (12)

• [12] 1/2" lockwashers (12)

• Steel plate 5' x 10' x 1/8" OR [2] Steel plate 4' x 8' x 1/8"

• Steel bar 3" x 1/8" x 24'

Steps

• Torch components as shown. Note: there are holes in the above diagrams which won't be torched until the hopper installation.

• Punch 3/4" holes in 4 of the hinge plates as shown.

• Weld a holey hinge plate, a non-holey hinge plate and 3 hinges together as shown. Note to make sure the side of the hinge that sticks out most is on the top; this way it won't interfere with the hopper metal below when installing the hopper.

• Torch the hopper shapes. Grind away any excess slag. Punch all of the holes shown.

• Place 1/2" bolts thru the side pieces and weld them.

• Make sure you are making them mirror images of eachother.

• Bolt the hinge plate assemblies to the side pieces using a washer, lock washer, and nut on each bolt.
