Hopper Bottom Containers
Plastic bulk containers with integrated discharge hoppers — move bulk seed, grain, and free-flowing material directly from container to process without double-handling.
Hopper bottom containers for flowable bulk material
A hopper bottom container is the right answer whenever your bulk material flows. Seed, grain, plastic pellets, powdered ingredients, and free-flowing chemicals don’t need to be tipped out of a flat-bottom container — they can drop through an integrated discharge chute straight into a process bin, a blender, a planter, or a packaging line.
Our hopper bottom containers are stocked in 45×48×50 and 57×48×31 footprints in rigid and collapsible configurations. The 45×48×50 is a full-height hopper for large-volume seed and grain; the 57×48×31 is a lower-profile unit for packaging-line feeding where overhead height is constrained. All integrated discharge chutes include slide-gate or rotary valves on request.
Every hopper bottom containers specification in our catalog aligns with the material, hygiene, and handling standards buyers rely on. For independent reference, see USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.
What makes our hopper bottom containers different
Integrated Discharge Chute
Bottom-mounted discharge opening with slide-gate, butterfly, or rotary-valve configurations. Controlled flow, no manual tipping.
Flow-Optimized Geometry
Steep internal slope angles (45° typical) engineered to prevent bridging on granular material. Full discharge without operator intervention.
1,800 lb Payload
Dynamic load rating to 1,800 lb with static stacking to 3,600 lb. Standard fork-truck handling at warehouse speeds.
Seed & Food Grade
FDA-compliant HDPE construction for seed treatment chemicals, bulk food ingredients, and agricultural supply-chain handling.

Where hopper bottom containers replace manual tipping
Seed & Grain Distribution
Regional seed distributors move treated seed from supplier to dealer to farm in hopper containers. Direct-to-planter discharge eliminates truck-mount augers.
Food Ingredient Bulk Handling
Flour, sugar, cocoa, and specialty ingredient programs. FDA-grade HDPE handles high cycle counts through hygienic washdown.
Plastic Resin Feeding
Plastic pellet feeding into injection-molding and extrusion lines. Hopper bottoms dose directly into material handling systems.
Agricultural Chemical Distribution
Dry ag chemicals (fertilizers, pesticide pellets). Controlled discharge through slide gates prevents dust emission during transfer.
Animal Feed & Supplements
Livestock supplement programs where bulk feed moves from mill to farm. Hopper discharge mates with auger and conveyor inputs.
Mining & Mineral Processing
Bulk mineral samples and process additives. HDPE resists abrasive mineral loads that chip wood and corrugated alternatives.
