Hopper Capacity

What is Hopper Capacity?

Hopper capacity refers to the amount of material that can be stored in the hopper of a machine, such as a vending machine or a coin sorter.

The hopper is the compartment in the machine that holds the material, and the capacity is usually measured in volume or weight. A larger hopper capacity means that the machine can hold more material before it needs to be refilled, which can be advantageous in situations where frequent refilling is impractical or inconvenient. However, a larger hopper capacity can also make the machine larger and more expensive, and may not be necessary for all applications. The hopper capacity is an important consideration when selecting a machine, as it can affect the efficiency and convenience of its operation.
