Material is loaded into the hopper manually or via transfer systems (like vacuum or conveying). The feeder—typically a screw, vibratory, or belt type—then discharges the material at a controlled, adjustable rate into mixers, blenders, packaging machines, or reactors.
- Stainless steel construction (SS304/SS316L) for GMP-compliant hygienic processing
- Conical or wedge-shaped hopper design to ensure smooth flow
- Integrated feeders (screw, vibratory, or belt) for accurate discharge
- Agitators or vibrators to prevent rat-holing and bridging
- Level sensors and load cells for batch control and automation
- Dust-tight design with optional vent filters for cleanroom use
- Customizable size and discharge height to suit your plant layout
- Mobile or fixed frame configurations available
- Pharmaceutical: API and excipient dosing into mixers or granulators
- Food: Controlled feeding of powders like flour, sugar, spices, etc.
- Cosmetics: Talc, pigment, and herbal powder feeding
- Chemical: Polymer powders, additives, fine chemical ingredients
