Ytron Vibration Mobile Hopper

• Used for controlled feeding of dry bulk materials into processing lines.
• Suitable for pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and plastics industries requiring precise material handling.
• Ideal for transferring powders, granules, and small components from storage to processing equipment.
• Applicable in environments where ATEX compliance for dust explosion protection is required.

Typical capacity

For this class of mobile hopper, capacities typically range from 50 to 500 litres, depending on material density and design.

Power supply

Vibration motors commonly found on units of this type typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, often 400V, 50Hz.

Material of construction

Units of this nature are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

ATEX rating

The listed ATEX rating 'II 2 D IP65' indicates suitability for use in Zone 21 (dust) hazardous areas, with protection against dust ingress.

Mobility

Mobile hoppers are typically fitted with castors, often with brakes, for easy repositioning within a facility.

Control

Units commonly include a dedicated control box for managing vibration intensity and feed rate.

• What types of materials can this hopper handle?

  Vibration hoppers are effective for a wide range of dry, free-flowing to moderately cohesive powders, granules, and small particulate materials. The vibration helps prevent bridging and ensures consistent flow.

• What does the 'EX rated II 2 D IP65, Atex' mean?

• Is the control box included with the unit?

• What maintenance is typically required for a vibration hopper?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

Hoppers and feeders are regarded as reliable workhorses in food processing operations. Buyers typically value models offering consistent material flow, easy cleaning access, and durable construction. When purchasing used equipment, inspecting for corrosion, wear on internal surfaces, and proper sealing mechanisms is essential. Industry sentiment favours units with adjustable feed rates and compatibility with existing production lines. Stainless steel construction and straightforward maintenance requirements are commonly cited strengths, making these systems practical long-term investments for processing facilities.
