What is Storage Hopper ?
A Storage Hopper, refers to the container which is designed for the storage of bulk materials such as grains, powders, liquids, and other granular substances. Storage Hoppers are commonly used in various industries, including agriculture, food processing, chemicals, mining, and more. They provide a means to store and protect materials from environmental factors while facilitating efficient handling and retrieval.
Here's an overview of the components, types, and functions of storage Hoppers:
- Hopper Body: The typical hopper is of rectangular or square shape container with pyramid shape bottom which provides an internal space for storing the bulk material. The Length , width and height of the storage hoppers are made as per the storage capacity required.
- Roof: The top of the storage hopper is covered by a Top Lid that protects the stored material from exposure to weather elements such as rain, snow, and sunlight.
- Bottom Cone: The typical shape of bottom part of storage hopper is of pyramid shape, which allows the material to flow towards the discharge point due to gravitational forces. The angle of the pyramid shape is directly affects the flow characteristics of the stored material.
- Access Port: Storage hopper have one or more access points, often equipped with doors or hatches, through which operators can enter for maintenance, inspection, and cleaning.
- Ventilation System: Storage hopper typically include ventilation systems to control temperature and moisture levels within the stored material, preventing spoilage or degradation.
- Discharge Mechanism: A discharge mechanism, such as a discharge gate such as butterfly valves or knife edge gate valves or conveyor, screw feeder, or airside, is used to remove the material from the bottom of the storage hopper for further processing or distribution.
