Intake hoppers

Take Pit A model

A simple and robust intake pit assembled with bolted connections inside concrete walls is well suited for dryer houses and mobile dryers equipped with bucket elevators. The Intake bit can be connected directly to an elevator so the grain flows by gravity.

Optional accessories include grates and a bolted support frame to place under the intake hopper.

Intake hopper with belt conveyor, L model

A low hopper package assembled on level ground that includes the necessary parts for connecting an elevator. A larger amount of grain can be tipped into the hopper at once and the belt conveyor takes care of forwarding the grain. The hopper does not require additional supporting structures around it. The tipping height is higher than in the lower alternatives.

Storage intake hopper with chain conveyor, H model

A low and lightweight hopper that can be quickly assembled on level ground, including swivel connections for connecting an elevator. This allows the hopper to be positioned quite freely relative to the elevator.

Intake hopper with chain conveyor, E model

A more robust version of the low hopper with the same features. Suitable for all dryers equipped with a bucket elevator. Its large size also makes it convenient to store grain in the hopper.

For the larger storage hoppers (3180 mm and 4270 mm lengths) a protective canopy is available as an accessory! The canopy height can be increased with additional layers.

Intake hopper

Intake hopper assembled inside concrete walls and equipped with an efficient chain conveyor for applications that require a large grain reception capacity. The width of the drive-over hopper is always three metres; the length may vary between three and five metres (with 50cm increments).

The hopper is steep-sided and smooth-surfaced, which efficiently prevents arching. Cleaning of the hopper is easy owing to a manhole in the side wall.

The additional equipment available includes support beams for embedding in cast concrete and sturdy grates allowing driving over the hopper by tractor or truck. The chain conveyor is chosen based on the bucket elevator’s performance.

Intake hopper 45° for Conveyor (Low)

This intake hopper is meant for locations requiring high grain receiving capacity. It is built inside concrete walls.

The intake hopper has steep and smooth walls, effectively preventing bridging. The presence of a manhole on the side wall
makes cleaning the pour-over pit easy. The walls of the drive-over pit have a 45° casting angle, effectively preventing bridging.

The additional equipment available includes support beams for embedding in cast concrete and sturdy grates allowing driving over the hopper by tractor or truck. The product is compatible with the Skandia conveyor. The conveyor is sold separately.
