Hung Tuan Hopper for Agarbatti Making Machine

Hung Tuan Hopper for Agarbatti Making Machine

The Hung Tuan Hopper is an essential component in Vietnam-origin agarbatti making machines, especially those manufactured or modeled after the Hung Tuan brand. It functions as the primary container for holding the agarbatti paste (also known as masala dough) before it is fed into the piston and extrusion mechanism. Precision-engineered for high-speed and high-volume incense stick production, this hopper ensures a consistent and smooth feeding process to maintain uninterrupted output.

🔧 1. Primary Function

• The Hung Tuan Hopper stores and supplies the agarbatti paste to the piston cylinder system.

• It provides a steady flow of material, minimizing air gaps and ensuring consistent extrusion.

• Its design is tailored for use with semi-automatic and fully automatic machines, ensuring compatibility and performance.

🧩 2. Design & Construction Features

a) Hopper Body

• Material: Heavy-duty Stainless Steel (SS304/SS316) or Mild Steel (MS) with powder coating or chrome plating.

• Shape: Typically conical or tapered cylindrical design.

• Purpose:

  • Guides the masala paste towards the extrusion cylinder.

  • Prevents clogging due to the angle of taper, allowing gravity-assisted flow.

b) Feeding Mouth/Base Opening

• Precisely machined to fit into the cylinder or feeding mechanism.

• May include locking grooves or clamps for secure attachment.

• Ensures airtight and leak-free connection to avoid paste wastage.

c) Upper Lid (Optional in Some Models)

• May include a hinged or removable cover to protect the paste from dust and drying.

• Optional depending on whether the machine is used in open or controlled environments.

d) Internal Coating/Finish

• Polished or chrome-plated inner surface to:

  • Prevent the paste from sticking.

  • Allow for easy cleaning.

  • Improve hygiene and reduce material wastage.

⚙️ 3. Key Features

• ✅ Optimized for Hung Tuan Machines: Perfect fit and alignment with original Vietnamese or compatible machines.

• ✅ High Capacity: Designed to hold enough paste for long production runs without frequent refilling (usually 2–5 kg depending on model).

• ✅ Anti-Clog Design: Conical structure with smooth interior prevents material bridging or blockages.

• ✅ Durable Build: Resists wear and tear from abrasive agarbatti paste.

• ✅ Easy Maintenance: Can be detached quickly for cleaning and inspection.

📏 Typical Dimensions (Approximate – Vary by Machine Size)

🛠️ Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Mount Properly: Ensure the hopper is tightly fitted with no misalignment at the base.

• Clean After Every Shift: Prevent residual paste from hardening and blocking the base.

• Use Food-Grade Lubricant (Optional): For smoother flow if paste is sticky.

• Inspect Regularly: Check for dents, rust, or sharp edges that could disrupt the paste flow.

🔄 Compatibility

• Primarily compatible with Hung Tuan-type agarbatti machines (Vietnamese models).

• Also fits many Indian-made Vietnamese-style machines using similar cylinder and die mounts.
