Feed Throat Hopper

Completely customizable!

Feed throat hoppers are types of containers or receptacles that are used to hold and deliver materials into a processing machine or system. These systems play an important role in ensuring a steady supply of material into the extruder, which is a crucial component of producing high-quality plastic products.

Cut2Size Metals Helps You Consider What's Most Important

Feed throat hoppers designs vary depending on the processing machines and systems so precise customization is needed. Particularly in the plastics industry, where these hoppers are designed to hold and deliver plastic granules and other materials into the machine, with a focus on maintaining a consistent flow of material, expert design is necessary. Cut2Size has extensive experience working across many industries.

One crucial consideration for feed throat hoppers is the feed throat temperature, as the material being processed can become stuck or begin melting if the temperature is not controlled properly. This can present a potentially dangerous safety issue.

Additionally, a free-flowing path for the material is necessary to prevent a bridged feed throat and other blockages or clogs in the hopper or feed section, which could otherwise lead to downtime and lost productivity.

Overall, proper design and maintenance are key to achieving high-quality production results. Cut2Size Metals will discuss your feed throat hopper needs with you to ensure we build a solution tailored to your exact specifications. Contact our team today to learn more.
