Choose the right hopper material for your application
Hopper type is best suited for applications:
Conical hoppers: used to refine powders, grains, cement, and free-flowing bulk materials
Rectangular / Square hoppers used in limited spaces, integration with feeders/conveyors
Sloped Bottom Hoppers: highly applicable for semi-cohesive materials (e.g., wet sand)
Hoppers with vibrators/agitators fine powders, chemicals, materials prone to clogging
Storage hoppers with level sensors: used in automated plants and continuous process industries
A and M Groups
Built to match your process hopper types, we offer
Conical hoppers
Conical hoppers are ideal for the continuous and controlled flow of powders, granules, or free-flowing bulk materials. Their slope design reduces blockages and ensures smooth discharge.
Rectangular / Square hoppers
Rectangular or square hoppers are suitable for processes where space optimization is important. They are widely used in industries requiring easy integration with conveyors and feeders.
Sloped bottom hoppers
These hoppers are built with angled bottoms to prevent material buildup and bridging. They are especially good at handling sticky or semi-cohesive substances.
Hoppers with vibrators/agitators
For complex materials that tend to clump, compact, or stick to walls, vibrators and agitators can be added. This makes uninterrupted material flow and prevents downtime.
Storage hoppers with level sensors
Equipped with level sensors, these hoppers automate the monitoring of material levels, reducing manual checks and ensuring timely refilling in risk operations.
