Weigh Hoppers & Standard Hoppers

Select from a wide range of capacities and shapes ranging from 20kg to 30,000kg. Fixed installation or mobile with or without weighing systems. All weigh hoppers are fitted with stainless steel ‘button’ type precision load cells and heavy duty stainless steel mounting kits with built in restraints. Fully adjustable mounting kits that do not require shimming are available as an option.

Weigh hoppers are fitted with a large (75mm) integral LED display that is clearly visible at 20m. Weighing head is mounted in a GRP or stainless steel enclosure, (IP66 rated) to prevent corrosion. In most cases permanent wiring is routed through the support structure using nylon glands. This eliminates the need for external conduits and fasteners and gives better protection for the cables

Hoppers can be mounted on skid bases or flanged feet. In most cases rectangular hollow steel section (RHS) is used for the support frames and skids. Where possible vertical diagonal bracing is used so that floor level cross bracing is not required leaving the area under the hopper clear and easy to clean. All steel work is Class 2-1/2 abrasive blast cleaned and primed with two pack epoxy primers. A top coat of two pack epoxy or two pack polyurethane (depending upon the surface finish required) is then applied  to provide superior corrosion resistance. All stitch welded seams are seam sealed and painted over with top coat. All fasteners used in the assembly of our hoppers are stainless steel and coated with an anti-seize compound.
