The Ropak Hopper Bottom gravity feed container easily and accurately dispenses small, granular type materials such as seed, grain, powders, resin and small, uniformly shaped parts or products.
The Ropak Hopper Bottom gravity feed container easily and accurately dispenses small, granular type materials such as seed, grain, powders, resin and small, uniformly shaped parts or products. Constructed of high-density polyethylene, the unit is long lasting and can significantly help reduce labor, packaging and material handling costs.

The hopper bottom features a steeply inclined, smooth interior, leading to a 6 ½in. x 11 ¼in. dispensing chute. An adjustable side-mounted sliding gate is used to dispense a product, giving the operator full control over flow rate while minimizing spillage. The slide gate also includes a "tamper evident" feature for applications where security is important.

The unit collapses to a fraction of its assembled height when empty. Full or empty, it can be stacked without racking for efficient use of overhead space. Warehouse utilization can be increased up to 300% when compared to other storage methods.

All hoppers feature a 45in. x 48in. base with 4-way fork entry and height options of 39in., 48in. and 50in. Volume operations are 25.3 cu. Ft., 34.8 cu. Ft. and 37 cu. Ft. respectively. Return ratios are 1.4:1 for the 39in. high container and 1.7:1 for the 50in. high container.
