Hygienic feeding hopper for bulk solids
Ensure optimal hygiene in your powder and granular processing with a feeder that facilitates easy cleaning and secure material handling, minimizing contamination risks and maintaining product integrity throughout your production line.
Feeds and Doses Bulk Solids Hygienically
The Hygienic Feeding Hopper Type ET-H from AZO Group stands out for its engineered-to-order design tailored to stringent hygienic requirements. Built with stainless steel options and surface finishes with roughness depths of < 0.6 µm or < 0.8 µm, it seamlessly integrates into your production line for effective feeding of powders and granular materials. This equipment is indispensable for industries like pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemicals, handling products such as protein powders, vitamin tablets, and detergent granules. It features easy-to-clean surfaces, facilitated by integrated wet cleaning with a jet cleaner, ensuring minimal contamination risk. The hopper is suitable for explosive environments with an ATEX zone 22 and 2 rating, and offers a metallic-detectable silicone gasket for easy maintenance. The aspirated cover system prevents dust escape, enhancing workplace safety. With manual, hygienic operations designed for continuous processing, it supports your compliance with strict sanitary standards and is ideal for pre-processing and processing operations in pharmaceutical, food, and nutraceutical sectors.
