Mobile Raw Material Hopper

Short-Term Storage and Easy Feeding

Mobile Raw Material Hopper

Mobile Raw Material Hopper is a wheeled and portable storage unit used for short-term storage and easy feeding of bulk (granule, pellet or crushed) raw materials to production machines, especially in plastic processing (injection, extrusion), food or chemical sectors.

Short-Term Storage: After the raw material is transported from the central storage (silo) to the side of the production machine, it keeps a sufficient amount in a safe and clean environment for continuous feeding to the machine.

Easy Feeding Point: The top cover of the hopper is suitable for manual filling from raw material bags. At the same time, the hopper has special connection points (suction pockets) for attaching the suction probe of pneumatic (vacuum) raw material loaders.

Mobility: Its most important feature is that it can be easily moved within the facility thanks to the braked wheels and telescopic (adjustable) feet at the bottom. A hopper can be separated from one machine and quickly positioned next to another machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions and answers about Mobile Raw Material Hopper

What is a mobile raw material hopper used for?+
Mobile raw material hopper is a wheeled storage and feeding unit used to transfer plastic granules and similar bulk materials to the production machine hopper. It provides practical material transfer to different machines.
How much material capacity does it have?+
Different volume options are available between 50 kg and 1000 kg. The most appropriate capacity is selected according to the hourly material consumption of your production line; both too small or too large hopper lead to inefficiency.
Can material flow from the hopper be controlled?+
Yes, material flow can be controlled manually or automatically with a valve or butterfly flap system. With sensor integration, automatic filling can be triggered at a certain fill level.
Is there a cover system that prevents dust or moisture contamination?+
Botex System mobile hoppers have a covered and cylinder-protected top inlet. This design prevents dust contamination and moisture absorption; it is of critical importance especially for moisture-sensitive materials.
How easy is cleaning and material changeover?+
Thanks to the conical bottom design and large cleaning hatch, complete emptying and easy cleaning is achieved during material changeover. Stainless steel inner surface prevents build-up and maintains hygiene.
