Hoppers can be configured with different technical components and operational accessories, selected according to the material to be handled, loading and unloading methods and specific application requirements.
The solutions shown in this section represent some of the available configurations and do not constitute a complete list.
Poggi develops each supply on a customized basis, evaluating the most suitable equipment to ensure functionality, reliability and correct integration with the operational context.
TM and TMP Series hoppers can be equipped with analog or digital detection systems for load level monitoring. Connected sensors can be integrated for remote data transmission, improving residual material supervision and feeding cycle planning.
For outdoor installations or environments exposed to adverse weather conditions, the hoppers can be equipped with protective covers, anti-freeze systems, insulation and sealing devices against dust, humidity or rain.
Upon request, the hoppers can be designed with multiple internal compartments to handle different materials within a single structure, ensuring flexibility during dosing and feeding operations.
Poggi hoppers can be equipped with internal linings designed to increase wear resistance and improve material flow. Available in different solutions, the linings reduce friction, deposits and build-up phenomena, extending the structure’s service life and ensuring operational efficiency even with difficult products.
Poggi hoppers can be combined with shuttle belts for aggregate loading. This solution allows the material to be distributed to multiple points along the storage area, optimizing space management and reducing handling times. The mobile belt structure ensures flexibility and adaptability to different plant layouts.
Load cells for hoppers allow precise monitoring of the weight of the contained material, ensuring accurate control of dosing and plant feeding operations. Integrated into the hopper structure, they provide stable measurements even in the presence of vibrations or flow variations. The use of reliable weighing systems improves process efficiency, reduces waste and enables more precise management of production recipes.
Sensor designed to monitor hopper opening and closing operations, ensuring operational safety and constant control of material flow.
To ensure the quality and workability of stored materials, Poggi hoppers can integrate continuous moisture sensors. These devices detect the moisture content of the product in real time.
Operator safety can be enhanced with perimeter guardrails, ladders with safety cage, inspection hatches, safety sensors, warning beacons and emergency stop systems, in compliance with current regulations.
