RNA Automation has an off the shelf range of standard equipment of hoppers and elevators.

Almost all feed systems require some type of bulk storage RNA can offer standard off the shelf or bespoke bulk storage solutions. The standard bulk storage hoppers use RNA linears and conveyors as a means of transporting components to the bowl feeding receptacle.

RNA hoppers are designed and manufactured in house to your requirements and almost all sizes and shapes of component can be catered for. The RNA standard control box units have been designed to control the bulk hopper level sensing in harmony with the bowl feed system in a single compact unit.

Spares for hopper belts and control units are available off the shelf and all types of industry from Pharmaceutical to Automotive can be catered for.
