At Saspi we have a wide range of machinery that we distribute worldwide. We are specialists in the design and manufacture of thread rolling machines and secondary operation machines; exclusive machines that provide high quality and precision in threading and pointing.

Specifically, within our feeding systems, the Venus - Vertical Feeder stands out for its quality and precision. It incorporates the hopper system, which we are going to analyze in this post.

 

What does vertical feeding with a hopper or container mean?

"Vertical hopper or container feeding" is a term used in various industries and applications to describe a process in which bulk material or items are fed into a hopper or container and lifted vertically into a machine or production process.

Here we explain in more detail what it means:

• Hopper: A hopper is a funnel or container-shaped device used to store and dispense bulk materials. The hoppers are designed to allow material to flow downward under the influence of gravity or with mechanical assistance.
  
• Vertical feeding: Vertical feeding refers to the process of feeding the material from the bottom where the hopper or container is located upwards, instead of moving it horizontally. This is achieved through a system of chains and paddles. The pieces are dosed to feed through a hydraulic system that changes the angle of the base of the hopper.

Vertical hopper or container feeding is a method of supplying parts in large quantities in bulk from a hopper or container, facilitating their transportation and processing in various industrial applications.

The hopper consists of a folding ramp controlled by a load detector that ensures constant feeding.

All feed adjustments are motorized and the feed speed is even adjusted using a variator. All adjustments are made from a remote control.

 

In which industries is vertical hopper feeding used?

The use of vertical hopper feeding is common in many sectors, such as automotive or construction, where parts are manufactured in large volumes and quantities.
