Receives and Separates Bulk Produce Efficiently
The Receiving Hopper from Kronitek is designed for food processing and agricultural industries, offering efficient management of bulk produce and raw materials. This hopper effectively receives products from jumbo boxes, integrating seamlessly into pre-processing stages with adjustable features for soil separation and conveyor alignment. With a capacity of 1.5 m³ and a 50 cm wide belt, it accommodates a variety of solid items, including vegetables, fruits, and pet food mixes. The inclusion of an optional inverter allows precise belt speed adjustments, while the soil separator can be tailored with a fixed or adjustable span and individual motor control for each roller. It handles loads up to 600 kg and operates at 1.5 kW power. The hopper’s design supports manual and configurable operations, making it suitable for diverse production environments such as industrial food processors, vegetable processing plants, and pet food manufacturers. Adjustable height settings and mechanical separator angle adaptation further enhance its versatility, ensuring compatibility with various upstream and downstream equipment configurations.
