P-Series feed bin
Hygienic material buffer for vacuum conveying
Sanitary material hopper for food & pharma applications
K-Tron P-series feed bin is a hygienic material bin designed to ensure consistent, reliable flow of powders and granulates before vacuum conveying. Engineered with a fully fluidized cone and 316L stainless-steel construction, the feed bin effectively pre-conditions materials, prevents bridging, and supports smooth handling in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical processes.
Ideals for:
- Buffering materials before vacuum conveying
- Handling powders and granulates from bulk bag unloaders
- Hygienic intermediate storage in food and pharmacutical processes
This feed bin is compatible with plastics, chemicals, and mineral processing applications. For more details, please visit the P-series feedbin page on Coperion performance material website.

K-Tron P-Series feed bin is designed to pre-condition materials before they enter the vacuum conveying airstream, ensuring a smooth and consistent flow. Ideal for use beneath bulk bag unloaders or other process equipment, it provides a hygienic buffer between production steps.
Engineered for smooth and consistent flow
Constructed entirely from 316L stainless steel, the P-Series Feed Bin combines strength, cleanliness, and easy maintenance. Its fully fluidized cone design eliminates material bridging or flow interruptions, ensuring efficient discharge of powders and granulates. With an electropolished surface and crevice-free welds, it meets the highest sanitary standards for food and pharmaceutical industries.
Hygienic, durable, and easy to maintain
The P-Series Feed Bin features a modular design with options for aeration pads, level probes, and vibrators to enhance material flow control. An alternative bottom pick-up allows washing and draining, simplifying cleaning procedures. Casters make the unit mobile for flexible installation and easy access during maintenance.
