ZOOMRY
ZOOMRY Static Hopper Feeder is a static high-efficiency equipment that seamlessly connects front-end feeding equipment (wheel loaders, grab cranes, excavators) with back-end conveying/processing equipment such as belt conveyors, telescopic stackers, mobile ship loaders, and truck unloaders, building an integrated bulk material handling system.
With "static feeding" as its core design concept, the hopper capacity ranges from 5–15 m³ with a maximum handling capacity of up to 1,000 TPH. It supports dual installation methods (fixed and wheeled) and handles various bulk materials such as sand, aggregates, ores, cement clinker, and coal. Currently serving customers in more than 50 countries, it has become a core supporting equipment for ZOOMRY's belt conveyors and scraper feeders in quarry and mining operations.
Where Are Static Hopper Feeders Used in Quarry and Port Operations?
Quarries
In aggregate quarry handling, crushed materials need quick connection to screening and washing equipment. Traditional operations rely on repeated transfer by loaders, which is inefficient and prone to excessive aggregate crushing. ZOOMRY Static Hopper Feeder installs between the crusher and belt conveyor — loaders directly discharge crushed materials into the hopper, and materials are smoothly conveyed to screening equipment through the static feeding system, realizing "crushing-feeding-screening" in one step.
Ports
In port terminal ore and coal loading/unloading, grab crane discharge volume fluctuates. The Static Hopper Feeder acts as a "buffer hub" — temporarily stores materials unloaded by grab cranes, then supplies them to ship loading equipment at stable speed via the controllable feeding system. This improves ship loading efficiency and reduces dust scattering in high-humidity, high-dust port environments.
Mines
In mine raw material pretreatment, the static design reduces transmission components with electrical control reaching IP65 protection rating. With a mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 8,000 hours, it realizes 24-hour continuous operation and significantly reduces maintenance frequency in harsh high-dust, high-humidity environments.
Building Material Factories
In cement plants, materials such as clinker and sand need fixed-proportion conveying. The variable frequency drive controls feeding speed error within ±5%, accurately supplying materials to the batching machine and ensuring stable raw material proportion for final product quality.
What Are the Core Performance Advantages of a Static Hopper Feeder Over Mobile Feeders?
Significantly Reduces Secondary Material Handling
ZOOMRY Static Hopper Feeder supports the "direct feeding by front-end equipment" mode: wheel loaders, grab cranes and excavators discharge materials directly into the hopper, eliminating the temporary stacking link. Comprehensive operation efficiency increases by more than 40%, while reducing material loss and labor costs.
High Productivity and Controllable Feeding
Maximum handling capacity up to 1,000 TPH with variable frequency drive for stepless speed regulation from 0 to 1,000 TPH. Operators adjust feeding speed according to back-end belt conveyor and telescopic stacker capacity — avoiding material blockage from excessive speed while preventing back-end equipment idleness.
Flexible Hopper Capacity
Hopper capacity ranges from 5–15 m³ (horizontal stacking), expandable to 6.3–18 m³ in stacked state. The hopper inner lining can be optional 6 mm hardened steel or 15 mm ULF wear-resistant material — for high-strength materials, service life is 3× longer than ordinary carbon steel linings.
Adaptable to Multiple Sites
Fixed sliding frame chassis for long-term permanent operations; height-adjustable wheeled chassis for phased operations and temporary material transfer — installation and commissioning within 24 hours without re-pouring foundations.

How Does the Static Feeder Design Improve Feeding Stability and Reduce Maintenance?
Low Loss of Static Feeding System
The core static feeding system adopts a "motor-reducer-drive drum" direct connection structure with no redundant transmission links — power loss reduced to less than 5%. Equipped with variable frequency drive (VSD), feeding speed adjusts via control panel or remote system. The EP 500 3-layer wear-resistant belt features 500 N/mm tensile strength with good oil and weather resistance for normal use from -20℃ to 60℃.
Anti-Blockage and Safe Hopper Structure
The hopper adopts a "U-shaped bottom + wide feed inlet" design: the U-shaped bottom avoids material accumulation in corners, reducing blockage risk; feed inlet width is 2.5–4 m, fully covering the discharge range of wheel loaders and grab cranes. The bottom is equipped with a bolt-fixed anti-fall system to prevent material blocks from damaging the feeding belt.
Multi-Equipment Linkage Compatibility
The Static Hopper Feeder seamlessly links with ZOOMRY's full range of bulk material conveying equipment: with belt conveyors, the discharge port directly connects for "feeding-conveying" synchronous start/stop; with telescopic stackers, feeding speed adjusts according to stacking radius for uniform material piles; with truck unloaders, materials are smoothly conveyed to reduce impact.
