Activation hoppers, also known as vibrating hoppers, are critical components in powder conveying systems used to promote the flow of bulk materials from storage containers into the conveying system. They are particularly useful for handling powders and granular materials that are prone to bridging or compacting, ensuring a consistent and controlled material flow.
Features
- Vibration Mechanism: Utilizes a vibration system to prevent material bridging and ensure a steady flow of powder.
- Polished Interior: The inner surface is polished to reduce material adhesion and facilitate easy material discharge.
- Stainless Steel Construction: Made from stainless steel 304/316L, suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Sanitary Design: Features a manual sanitary discharge valve and over-arc corners to prevent dead zones and residue buildup.
- Mobility: Often designed to be movable to support various stages of the production process.
Uses
Activation hoppers are used in a variety of industries and applications, including:
- Pharmaceuticals: For the safe handling of powders during the manufacturing of medications.
- Chemicals: To ensure precise and contamination-free transfer of chemical powders.
- Food Processing: In the movement of food-grade powders through different stages of production.
- Manufacturing: Where bulk materials need to be moved consistently to match production requirements.
