Heavy-Duty Intake Hoppers: Maximize Efficiency and Minimize Downtime

Our range of heavy-duty intake hoppers are engineered for superior performance and reliability in demanding industrial applications. Designed to seamlessly integrate into your existing material handling system, these hoppers ensure efficient and consistent material flow, minimizing bottlenecks and maximizing productivity.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Robust Construction: Fabricated from high-quality materials like carbon steel, stainless steel (various grades available), and aluminum, our hoppers are built to withstand the rigors of continuous operation and heavy loads. Choose the material best suited for your specific environment and material handled, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
• Optimized Design for Efficient Flow: Our meticulously designed hopper geometries, including sloping sides and strategically placed discharge outlets, promote smooth and consistent material flow, preventing bridging, rat-holing, and clogging. This ensures optimal throughput and minimizes downtime associated with material jams. Custom designs are available to accommodate specific material characteristics and flow requirements.
• Versatile Sizing and Configurations: Available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to match your specific needs. Options include various capacities, inlet sizes, outlet configurations (including multiple outlets), and mounting styles (e.g., floor-mounted, wall-mounted, suspended). We also offer customized solutions to address unique application requirements.
• Durable and Easy-to-Clean: Seamless welds and smooth interior surfaces minimize material buildup and facilitate easy cleaning. This reduces maintenance time and ensures product purity. Specific materials and designs are available to meet stringent hygienic requirements for food processing, pharmaceutical, and other sensitive industries.
• Safety Features: Our hoppers incorporate several safety features, including robust structural design, secure mounting options, and optional safety guards and interlocks to enhance operator safety and prevent accidents.
• Optional Features: A wide range of optional features are available to further enhance functionality and efficiency, including:
  • Level Sensors: Accurately monitor material levels for automated control and prevention of overflows.
  • Vibration Assist: Reduces material bridging and sticking for improved flow in difficult-to-handle materials.
  • Discharge Gates & Valves: Precisely control the flow rate of material.
  • Dust Collection Ports: Minimize dust emissions and maintain a clean work environment.
  • Specialized Liners: Extend hopper life and prevent corrosion or abrasion in harsh environments.
