04 / The practical details
Questions about stainless steel hoppers, chutes and funnels.
What internal finish do you use for food contact?
Internal welds are ground flush and polished to a smooth, cleanable finish, with radiused corners where the product flows. Higher polish grades are available for sticky or allergen products.
Can you copy an existing hopper?
Yes. We measure it, fix whatever did not work the first time, and build a replacement that bolts into the same position.
Do you make the frames and stands?
Yes. Hoppers come on legs, frames or castors as required, in stainless or galvanised steel depending on where they live.
