Abstract: A material handling device for reducing spillage of flowable or particulate material dispensed into a storage bin, the device comprising an upper region defining a first opening for receiving such material and a pair of discharge members extending in a direction opposite the first opening. The device is particularly suited for placement over a horizontal support rod from which the bin is typically suspended from. The device finds wide use in electroplating applications providing methods of maintaining a uniform arrangement of bins in an electroplating tank, and methods of protecting hardware utilized for suspending bins from electroplating tank support rods.
