Product Loading Boxes

American Made Systems for Cleaner, Smarter Conveyor Feeders

Mess-Free Conveyor Loading Made Easy

Feed bulk materials cleanly, evenly, and reliably with custom product loading boxes from O’Mara. Designed for precise flow control and long service life, these loading boxes simplify one of the most challenging points in any material handling system. They deliver calibrated, accurately centered product flow onto the conveyor.

Designed to handle everything from fine powders and dust to large, abrasive, or chunky commodities, O’Mara loading boxes regulate the flow of product, center material on the belt, and reduce spillage at transfer points. With repeatable adjustment control and rugged construction, they improve safety, efficiency, and uptime across demanding industrial environments.

Built for agriculture, seed and grain, petrochemical, pet food, hemp, and industrial processing, O’Mara product loading boxes are a dependable solution for controlled conveyor infeed.

What Is a Product Loading Box?

A product loading box, also called a load box or metering box, is a hopper-style device mounted at the intake of a conveyor. It receives bulk material and releases it in a controlled, centered flow onto the belt.

The goal is simple:

  • Match the flow of product to conveyor speed
  • Prevent overloads and spillage
  • Keep material centered for smooth tracking

The result is cleaner transfers, consistent throughput, and better performance from downstream equipment.

How Product Loading Boxes Work

Controlled Infeed Design

Bulk material enters the box from bins, chutes, or upstream equipment, where an adjustable gate controls the amount released onto the conveyor.

Simple Flow Adjustment

Flow is adjusted with a turn-of-the-knob control, allowing you to make fast, repeatable changes without additional tools.

Centered Belt Loading

Material exits the box evenly across the belt width, reducing edge spillage and belt misalignment.

Instant Shut-Off Capability

The gate can fully close to stop product flow during maintenance, changeovers, or emergency stops.

This rugged, no-nonsense design delivers dependable product flow with little need for ongoing operator input.

Benefits of Custom Product Loading Boxes

1. Consistent Conveyor Throughput

By regulating flow at the source, conveyors maintain design capacity with smooth, uninterrupted operation.

2. Reduced Spillage and Product Waste

Contained loading minimizes cleanup, dust, and lost material.

3. Improved Safety and Ergonomics

Eliminates manual shoveling or lifting at conveyor infeed points.

4. Better Belt Tracking and Equipment Life

Centered loading reduces belt wear, misalignment, and downstream damage.

5. Flexible Across Product Types

Handles fines, powders, pellets, grain, seed, pet food, and abrasive materials.

6. Easy Integration

Designed to adapt to existing conveyor systems and new systems alike.
