FAQ: Professional Technical Questions about Hopper Trolley

1. What is the optimal material for a hopper trolley in food processing?

AISI 304 or 316L stainless steel is strongly recommended, due to its superior corrosion resistance and hygiene compliance (FDA, 3-A standards).

2. What are typical dimensions and loading specifications?

Standard sizes range 600–1200 mm (length), 800 mm (height), 200–1200 kg load. Custom profiles for specific volumetric/flow needs are available.

3. Which welding or joining process ensures hygiene and durability?

Automatic TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding delivers seamless, crevice-free joints. Post-weld electro-polishing is used to eliminate residues and microbes (per ISO/TS 16949).

4. What installation standards apply for the trolley hopper in regulated plants?

Installations should comply with ISO 14120 (safety guards), ISO 13849 (safety interlocks) and relevant local food safety codes. Consult facility engineers for integration details.
