Stainless Steel Hopper for Intermediate Product Storage
The stainless steel hopper is a professional processing vessel engineered for temporary storage, metered feeding, and accumulation of powders, granules, and liquids used in pharmaceutical, food, and chemical applications.
The body is manufactured from premium AISI 304/316L stainless steel, resistant to corrosion, cleaning agents, and sterilization procedures. The conical bottom ensures complete discharge without residual product, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.
The design features reinforced side handles, a mounting plate for sensors or auxiliary components, and an airtight lid that prevents dust and external contaminants from entering.
The hopper can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines and customized according to project requirements: volume, height, outlet configuration, supports, mobile platform, CIP cleaning, and surface finish.
The equipment complies with GMP hygiene standards and is suitable for installation in controlled cleanroom environments.
