Shibuya Hoppmann EP04/06 Elevating Prefeeder with 4-6 cu.ft Stainless Steel Hopper and AC Motor

The Shibuya Hoppmann EP04/06 Elevating Prefeeder is designed for efficiently feeding and sorting small, lightweight parts in industrial and biotechnology production workflows. Featuring a 4 to 6 cubic feet (113-170 liters) stainless steel hopper, this unit integrates a cleated elevator belt system with 1.50" cleat height and a belt speed of 35 feet per minute for reliable product handling and consistent feed rates.

• AC motor offers variable speed operation with a power rating of 1/4 hp and supports common industrial voltages of 208-230/460 V.
• The FDA/USDA approved 1-ply solid woven polyester belt with PVC coating ensures compliance with hygiene standards critical in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing environments.
• Robust all stainless steel construction provides durability and suitability for rigorous applications including synthetic biology and biomedical engineering pipelines.
• Dimensions measure approximately 69” length x 38” width x 91” height, with an actual weight of 250 lbs (136 kg), suitable for integration into existing conveyor or automation systems.
• This elevating prefeeder is critical in streamlining workflow automation by precisely controlling the flow of small parts, essential for gene editing and cell imaging product lines.

Note: Controllers and level sensors are not supplied, allowing customization for specific laboratory or production automation setups. The unit’s compliance with sanitary standards and precise feeding capability make it widely used in biotechnology research facilities and clinical diagnostic manufacturing pipelines requiring efficient and hygienic material handling.
