Prefabricated steel hopper's design features
Optimized structural design
The structural design of a steel structure hopper needs to consider many factors, such as material particle size, density, flow speed, and so on. These factors directly influence the metal hopper's material selection, shape, dimensions, and capacity.
Material selection
In the selection of raw materials, our steel hoppers are manufactured from high-strength steel (e.g. ASTM A572, S460, Q690), ideal for withstanding the intense impact and load exerted by bulk materials during operation.
Enhanced durability
In abrasive settings like mines and coal processing plants, excellent wear resistance of steel structure hoppers and chutes is the primary condition. To meet these challenges, we offer wear liners that boosting resistance to wear and impact while significantly extending equipment lifespan-perfect for demanding, high-intensity operations.
