Feed hopper for volumetric feeders

Optimize product consistency while handling a variety of viscosities with this feed hopper, designed to integrate seamlessly with dosing systems, maintaining product integrity during the packaging process.

Mixes, Heats, and Doses Viscous Products

The product loading hopper from Tenco is a custom-built, stainless steel solution designed for seamless integration with piston filling machines. Specializing in handling viscous products like foundations, depilatory waxes, and zinc creams, these hoppers feature a heating system and rotating blade mixer to maintain product consistency. Ideal for cosmetics, food, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications, the hoppers showcase a robust AISI 316L stainless steel construction for excellent corrosion resistance. Available in benchtop or mobile configurations, they support precise dosing requirements. The double-walled design with insulation ensures energy efficiency and maintains dosing temperatures. Configurable options accommodate varied production volumes, while compliance with industry standards ensures safe, hygienic operations.
