Pharmaceutical Hopper Capacity Calculator

Calculate the maximum weight capacity of compression machine hoppers based on bulk density

Formula Used:

Hopper Capacity (kg) = Volume of Hopper (liters) × Bulk Density (g/ml)

Example Calculations:

Example 1: Low Density Product

Hopper Volume: 16 liters, Bulk Density: 0.5 g/ml

16 × 0.5 = 8.0 kg

Result: You can add 8.0 kg of this lighter material

Example 2: High Density Product

Hopper Volume: 16 liters, Bulk Density: 0.75 g/ml

16 × 0.75 = 12.0 kg

Result: You can add 12.0 kg of this denser material
