What is machine hopper?

A machine hopper is a container or compartment that is used to store and distribute material to a machine or process. It is commonly used in manufacturing and production environments where raw materials need to be transported and loaded into machines for processing. Hoppers come in a variety of designs, sizes, and materials, depending on the application and the type of material being transported. Some common materials used for machine hoppers include stainless steel, plastic, and aluminum. Hoppers can be designed to provide accurate material feeding and flow control to machines, improving efficiency and reducing waste. They may also be equipped with features such as sensors, timers, and controls to automate the feeding process and optimize performance.
