Hoppers and Bunkers
Hoppers and Bunkers are vital components in bulk material handling systems, widely used across industries like mining, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing. Both structures serve as intermediate storage units, temporarily holding materials before they are processed, conveyed, or packaged.
Hoppers are funnel-shaped containers designed to hold and control the release of materials through a controlled discharge (Feeders). They are especially useful for feeding materials at a consistent rate to conveyors, crushers, or processing machines. Hoppers come in various sizes, from small-scale units for fine powders to larger ones for coarse aggregates, and are often equipped with vibrators or agitators to prevent material blockages and ensure a smooth flow.
Bunkers, on the other hand, are larger, rectangular storage structures meant for storing substantial amounts of materials, like grains, coal, or ores, over longer periods. Typically, they have a flat bottom and are built for high-volume applications. Bunkers are often paired with automated systems that help monitor and control the release of materials as needed.
Both hoppers and bunkers improve operational efficiency by regulating material flow, preventing spillage, and ensuring steady feeding to downstream processes. With customizable designs and materials, they can be adapted to meet specific industry requirements, enhancing overall productivity and workflow.
