WEIGH HOPPERS

Weigh Hoppers monitor material consumption rates. The reliable, precise measurement can be used by a control system to adjust the blender rate or extruder speed to maintain a constant flow. Standard temperature pellet-only models feature a removable cast acrylic hopper for material viewing and simple cleanout, and a stainless-steel cone. Regrind models feature a stainless steel body with a sight glass for material viewing and a door for cleaning access. High Temperature and Knifegate options are available. I/O and Ethernet communications are standard in Weigh Hoppers. 

For extrusion applications, an extrusion control weigh hopper helps monitor material usage so the control system can support consistent flow through the process. These weighing hoppers are useful where material consumption rates need to be tracked accurately and where extrusion throughput control is important to steady production. By providing a reliable, precise measurement , the weigh hopper supports the control system as it adjusts extruder speed to help maintain a constant flow.
