A combined component consisting of a hopper for material storage and an agitator for mixing or preventing material settling
Technical details and manufacturing context for Hopper and Agitator
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Hopper Capacity | 0.5–5 m³ | Select based on required batch size and material bulk density. |
| Agitator Speed | 20–120 rpm | Adjustable to suit material viscosity and settling tendency. |

The hopper and agitator is designed for powders, granules, and similar bulk materials. The construction materials (stainless steel, carbon steel, or food-grade polymers) should be selected based on the material's properties and application requirements.
Hopper capacity should be selected based on the required batch size and the bulk density of the material. The reference range is 0.5 to 5 m³; confirm the appropriate size with the manufacturer for your specific process.
The agitator prevents material bridging, rat-holing, and compaction, ensuring consistent flow and homogeneity. It mixes the material to maintain uniform properties before discharge to downstream processes.
The reference operating temperature range is -20 to 80 °C, and the operating pressure range is 0.1 to 0.6 MPa. Outside these ranges, seals and bearings may fail; verify with the manufacturer for your application.
