The Miedema SB series is a compact, high-capacity receiving hopper primarily used as the initial stage in agricultural storage and processing lines. It serves to gently unload harvested produce—such as potatoes, onions, carrots, and root vegetables—from trailers into the system, while acting as a buffer, cleaner, and grading unit where needed.
The Miedema SB series receiving hoppers serve as the first essential step in the crop storage and processing line. Designed for high-throughput agricultural operations, they act as a buffer zone, cleaner, and optionally a pre-grading unit, delivering excellent performance with a gentle touch.
These hoppers are suitable for a wide range of crops such as potatoes, onions, carrots, and other root vegetables, and are valued for their user-friendly controls, reliable construction, and crop-friendly handling.
