Scale hopper for bulk material processing
In industrial settings, accurately measuring and processing bulk materials is crucial. Frequently, challenges arise with the material-air separation and even filling of hoppers, which can lead to inefficiencies and material handling difficulties.
Ensure precise material separation and filling
The Coperion K-Tron Scale Hopper is designed to handle bulk materials efficiently. Featuring capacities from 200 liters to 2900 liters (7 to 104 cu.ft.), this hopper includes a tangential entry baffle at the inlet, enhancing material-air separation and ensuring even filling. Its steep, 63°-sloped design encourages the discharge of hard-to-handle materials. With three support lugs for suspension from load cells, it provides mechanical stability. Constructed from carbon steel with epoxy-coated interiors and enamel-painted exteriors, it ensures robustness and durability. It also features an internally filtered vent with a check valve, a discharge flange compatible with knife gate or butterfly gate, and a high/low level control mounting coupling potential. Material can be delivered to the hopper via a closed-loop Aeropass system, filter receivers, cyclones, or screw feeders. When used with a receiver, the Aerolock meters material until the set point is reached.
