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.
