Surge Hoppers

Surge hoppers, or storage hoppers, stabilize product flow between continuous-flow and batch processes to maintain the system's ability to run continuously despite some equipment needing change-time. They are commonly used before mixers to allow time for batches to finish, and before bulk bags to allow time for bag changes. These powder-coated or stainless hoppers can come in any shape or size required and come equipped with flow-aids to ensure smooth flow and prevent product from bridging.
