The Evenflow Hopper is a combination conveyor and hopper. It evenly supplies produce on-demand to the next stage in the line, converting an irregular infeed into a constant outfeed flow. It can also provide buffer storage. The Evenflow Hopper starts in a raised position with the infeed end of the conveyor bed as high as it can go. When a sensor detects produce on the conveyor, the end lowers, creating a storage area. As produce backlog clears, the end of the conveyor lifts back up.
