Liquid Filling Hopper

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring liquids from bulk containers to smaller vessels.
• Feeding liquid products into packaging machinery.
• Storing intermediate liquid ingredients during processing.
• Dispensing viscous or free-flowing liquids in controlled batches.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 50 litres to several hundred litres, depending on specific design.

Construction material

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

Inlet/Outlet diameter

Commonly, inlet diameters are designed for efficient bulk loading, while outlet diameters are sized for connection to standard filling lines or pumps.

Base structure

A robust base structure is typically included for stability and to allow integration with existing production lines or floor mounting.

Cleaning access

Designs commonly incorporate features for easy cleaning, such as sloped bottoms and accessible internal surfaces.
