Bag feeding hopper for bulk solids

Optimize your material handling with a robust feeding hopper that seamlessly integrates into your production line, ensuring precise and efficient discharge of powders and granular materials while maintaining superior dust control and coarse material separation.

Facilitates Discharge and Screening of Bulk Materials

The ET…VS GA Vibrating Feeding Hopper from AZO GmbH & Co. KG is designed to overcome the challenges of handling bulk solids with poor flow properties. Featuring an integrated vibrating perforated sheet, it ensures automatic coarse product discharge, preventing packaging residues from entering your production line. The equipment is suitable for applications in the food, chemical, and plastics industries, effectively managing materials such as flour, sugar, and polyethylene granules. Its operation involves a seamless feeding and screening process, activated as the hopper cover opens, ensuring minimal dust exposure. Capable of integration with pneumatic conveying systems, the hopper incorporates various discharge aids, such as vibrators and aeration jets, to enhance flow. Constructed from chrome-nickel-steel with industry-specific finishes, it offers customization options to suit specific material properties, installation requirements, and production line configurations. Additionally, it supports efficient cleaning and maintenance, with all operational tasks accessible from one side.

Benefits

  • Ensures efficient material flow with vibrating discharge, reducing potential blockages.
  • Minimizes dust exposure for improved workplace safety and cleanliness.
  • Enhances product quality by preventing coarse contaminants in the production process.
  • Facilitates easy maintenance with accessible design for rapid screen changes.
  • Offers customizable configurations to integrate seamlessly into existing production lines.
