Ytron Vibration Mobile Hopper

Applications & Use Cases

• 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 Specifications

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.
