These types of transfer hoppers are regularly used between multi-head weighing machines and vertical form fill bagging machines. This was fabricated from stainless steel and comprises of 3 laser cut parts, 1 the base flange C/W mounting holes, 2 the beveled rolled cylinder and 3 the oblique rolled cone. This was used in an onion factory pack-house.

This stainless steel hopper is a little bit unusual, as it has a flat sided oval base flange, this was used for transferring lettuce leafs from a weighing conveyor into a bagging machine.

The hopper below was fabricated in 2011 from 1.5mm stainless steel, this transfers carrots from a multi head weighing machine down to a bagging machine.
