Different designs of hopper assemblies for glass batch mixers are examined. The factors affecting the shape, volume, and number of receiving hoppers for mixers are determined. It is shown that buckets as well as vibratory, auger, and ribbon feeders can be used to unload a batch from the mixing apparatus. Certain variants of rotary vibratory mechanisms used for unloading a mixture of raw materials from the receiving hoppers of batch mixers are presented.
