The invention pertains to a hopper loader apparatus for separating and forming an overlapping shingled stream of individual signatures of sheet materials from a vertically aligned, parallelepiped shaped stack of such signatures for subsequent handling operations. The hopper-loader has a chassis; a first continuous, downwardly inclined planar conveyor mounted on the chassis which moves a stack of vertically aligned signatures and deposits them onto a second conveyor as a separated, shingled stream of the signatures. The second conveyor is mounted on the chassis and aligned with an end of the first conveyor. It has a plurality of driven belts which travel over each of an upwardly inclined planar ramp segment, an arched transition segment, and a planar exit segment. The arched transition segment comprises either a belt slide or a plurality of serially arranged rollers.

A system for mixing concentrate and water continuously and automatically including a water supply system and a concentrate system which systems feed into a common conduit to mix the concentrate and water to form a fountain solution. The water supply system has a water motor and is interconnected with valves for controlling the flow of water to and from the water motor. The concentrate system includes a concentrate pump and a concentrate supply valve for controlling the flow of concentrate to and from the concentrate pump. The water motor is interconnected with the concentrate pump to thereby drive the concentrate pump and the stroke of the concentrate pump is variable to permit variations in the concentrate and water mixture. The operation of the water system and the concentrate system is controlled by a pneumatic system which is activated by the water motor.
