Hygienic Feeding of Bulk Materials
The Feeding hopper type ET…H, featuring a hygienic design, enables the hygienic feeding of powdered, dusty, and granular bulk materials from bags, cartons, or drums into closed material feeding systems. The hygienic design facilitates reliable and residue-free cleaning—especially where high hygiene standards are required.
Easy cleaning and minimal downtime
Smooth surfaces with surface roughness of < 0.6 or < 0.8 µm and internal radii of more than 50 mm minimise areas where product residues can accumulate. An integrated jet cleaner enables wet cleaning of the feed hopper. The non-adhesive silicone seal can be easily removed and refitted once dry. This reduces the effort required for cleaning and maintenance.
Low-dust bag feeding and safe processes
When the lid is opened, a vacuum system can be activated automatically, ensuring that less dust is released into the environment when emptying bags. The lid switch can also perform safety-related system functions up to Performance Level D, such as shutting down downstream dosing devices. This allows the product feed to be safely integrated into the automated process.
Flexibly adaptable to the process and equipment
The fold-down or removable bag support makes it easier to handle different types of containers. The outlet can be adapted to downstream equipment. Two types of stainless steel, hygienic adjustable feet, and compliance with ATEX Zones 22 and 2 allow for a customized design to meet various process requirements.
