Details & Notes
Move Powder Like a Liquid for Smooth Discharge—Reduce Labor and Material Loss
Connect air to operate. Air flows into the hopper, fluidizing the powder to promote smooth discharge.
Excellent Cleanability to Prevent Cross-Contamination
The inner hopper is equipped with fine holes through which air is introduced.
These holes have a nearly straight structure, making them easier to clean than multiple layers of mesh with varying roughness, even if some powder enters.
This design helps reduce the risk of contamination when multiple product types are produced on the same line, or in industries—such as pharmaceuticals—that require very high levels of hygiene.
Q&A
- ＱCan I purchase this item separately and attach it to an existing hopper?
- ＡGenerally, this is not possible. We recommend purchasing it along with the hopper, as it requires a specially sized fitting at the connection. Our company can manufacture the hopper for you. Please contact us with your desired capacity and any other requirements.
- ＱIs it also effective for damp (moist) powders?
- ＡGenerally, it is not recommended for damp powders. However, depending on the material properties and conditions, it may still be effective. We can conduct tests using your actual powder, so please contact us for more information.
- ＱCan the size be changed?
- ＡNeither the discharge port nor the hopper’s top diameter can be modified.
