alco Buffer Hopper - AST

The alco buffer hopper AST with bottom screw/conveyor shaft is suitable for buffering and conveying various products. For example, the AST can be placed under a discharge housing of an alco mixer AMP or HotCook AHC.

Once an upstream machine has completed the previous process, the product can be discharged very quickly into the buffer hopper, temporarily stored for further processing, and then continuously conveyed to downstream machines. This process significantly increases the hourly output of the upstream (cooking) mixing machine and enables the conversion of a batch process into a continuous process.
