Allround storage hopper is designed to act as a buffer in a processing line, or between a processing line and a packaging line. The storage hopper will be gradually filled from the bottom to the top. An unloading conveyor is mounted at the bottom of the storage hopper, which can convey the produce out of the storage hopper. There’s a roof mounted over the unloading conveyor to reduce pressure over the unloading belt.
Soft landing is mounted at the bottom of the storage hopper. Placed under the zig-zag fall breaker or vertical filling belt to break the fall. A frequency inverter is included to control the speed, and a hatch is also mounted on the side of the machine. The hatch can be used for inspection/cleaning.
Storage hopper filling can be done via two methods, the Zig Zag fall breaker, which is normally used, and the moving vertical belt. The vertical filling belt is used for fresh produce where it is sensitive to damage. This belt starts filling the storage hopper from bottom to top by moving up and down to ensure complete filling of the storage hopper.
