Vacuum Feed Hopper & Misc.
FPEC manufactures sanitary hoppers, custom built to fit your process.
Load N Go Product Transfer System
The Load N Go system creates a seamless flow of product using hoppers that are moved with forklifts or pallet jacks and a vacuum system station to unload the product. The hoppers are cleaned and reused eliminating the need for cardboard totes and plastic liners. This eliminates foreign material concerns from the plastic liners as well as eliminating the cardboard totes, significantly cutting costs.

FPEC Food Valve
FPEC’s Food valve combines a precise interference fit with heavy duty but light weight components to create perfect valve for your vacuum applications. The food valve is 40% lighter than the stainless valves available in the market now and takes less than a minute to disassemble for cleaning. The Food valve does not use any O-rings, gaskets or seals to create vacuum, the tightly machined fit of components supports up to 28″ HG in your system. All components are 304 stainless steel or polymer and designed for washdown for many years of continuous service in sanitary environments. The Food Valve is available in 6″ and comes with a pneumatic actuator. No tools needed for disassembly. Patent Pending.
