Vibratory Conveying Systems

Accumulation Hoppers

Strategically positioned among vibratory conveyors, those specialised accumulation hoppers are instrumental in ensuring an uninterrupted and efficient flow of materials during the production process. Their primary function is to accumulate products or receive batch-tipped substances, facilitating the seamless transition among various stages of snack food production.

Features

  • Simple operation
  • Low cost
  • Hygienic design
  • Can accommodate drops in systems to prevent product fall damage

Accumulation hoppers play a crucial role in the snack food production process, offering meticulous control over product flow. Situated between two vibratory conveyors, accumulation hoppers ensure precise and steady delivery of materials to downstream processes. Whether directly or through a secondary conveyor, the product flow remains smooth, thanks to automation software and responsive photoelectric sensors. Versatility is a key attribute of accumulation hoppers. They seamlessly integrate with a range of production sources, including bag tip stations and batch-fed systems. This adaptability is invaluable in dynamic production environments where diverse product sources converge. With their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, hygienic design, and the ability to govern product flow, accumulation hoppers are essential components in conveying systems. For snack food manufacturers focused on optimising efficiency and boosting productivity, embracing accumulation hoppers is a strategic move that pays dividends.

  • Simplicity and Cost-Effectiveness: Accumulation hoppers operate as intermediaries between two vibratory conveyors. Their simplicity makes them indispensable in their inherency. They can be easily integrated into current conveying structures and are very user-friendly. Furthermore, they provide an affordable means of enhancing production efficiency.
  •  Hygienic Design: In the food enterprise, hygiene is a paramount factor. These accumulation hoppers are meticulously designed with this crucial aspect in mind. Constructed using food-safe materials, notably chrome steel, adhere to stringent cleanliness and safety standards. This design feature guarantees the product’s uncontaminated journey as it passes through the hopper.
  • Preventing Product Fall Damage: Their unique design allows them to accommodate drops in conveying structures preventing products from damage. This feature significantly mitigates the risk of sudden falls and influences that could otherwise harm the product. Maintaining the product’s integrity throughout the production process is crucial for snack food manufacturers committed to delivering a high-quality end product.

Vibratory Conveying Systems with the Accumulation Hoppers

Big Bag/Multi Pack Handling

KMG snack food multi-pack handling systems can produce 2,3,4,5,6 same or multi-mix packs in a multi-pack format. Packets are fed from storage hoppers by either air blowing or belt elevation and fed in a controlled and streamed manner to the weigh head. KMG has designed and built a purpose built product reject system positioned between the weigher and bagmaker for multi-pack reject.
