BP-400 Hopper Feeder is an automated raw material feeding system for feed and fuel pellet mills. Manufactured by the Ukrainian Technomashstroy plant, this hopper-doser ensures uniform and uninterrupted loading of the pellet mill, increasing the productivity and quality of the finished product.
Purpose and Application
The BP-400 hopper feeder is designed to automate the feeding of loose raw materials to pellet mills of the GKM, OGP, Pelletnik, Rotex series and other compatible models. The equipment is suitable for farms, poultry farms, animal feed production facilities and fuel pellet production workshops.
The screw feeding system ensures a stable flow of raw material to the pellet mill, helps prevent downtime and maintains a consistent pelletizing process.

Design Features
The BP-400 consists of a 390-litre hopper, a screw feeding mechanism and a geared motor. The dosing rate is adjusted using a slide gate, allowing the feed rate to be precisely matched to the specific type of raw material and the operating conditions of the pellet mill.
The robust metal construction ensures reliability, resistance to vibration and a long service life under daily operating conditions. The hopper is installed on pellet mills of the GKM, OGP, Pelletnik and Rotex series.
Advantages
- Uniform raw material feeding without constant operator supervision
- Stable pellet mill operation without overloads
- Feed rate adjustment using a slide gate
- Increased production efficiency
- Compatibility with popular pellet mill series
- Simple operation and maintenance
Suitable Raw Materials
The hopper feeder operates effectively with grain mixtures, bran, oilseed cake, meal, grass meal, compound feed and other loose raw materials of plant origin. The equipment is not intended for extruders or other machines that use a different feeding principle.
The BP-400 is a reliable solution for automating raw material feeding and increasing the efficiency of feed and fuel pellet production.
