Product Overview
Between the feed line and the pan there is a short drop where most scatter happens. A hopper with a properly tapered throat turns that drop into a controlled column of feed instead of a spray across the pen.
JGM produces two sizes: the 62010 hopper at 418.98 × 179.05 × 317.5 mm for main feed drops, and the 62011 small hopper at 268 × 166 × 306 mm for narrow positions and smaller rations.

Why Buyers Specify This Product
Feed lands where it is meant to
A tapered throat keeps the drop as a column instead of a scatter.
Anti-bridge shape
The internal taper is drawn so meal does not arch across the throat and stall the drop.
Two sizes for two positions
The full hopper for the main drop and the small hopper where space or ration is limited.
Moulded PP throughout
No corrosion and no coating to flake into the feed.
Problems It Solves
Feed scatters on the way down
A hopper throat controls the fall.
Meal bridges and stops the drop
The internal taper is shaped against bridging.
Metal hoppers corrode and shed flakes
Moulded polypropylene does neither.
Who It Is For
- Houses with overhead feed lines dropping into pans or troughs
- Farms fixing feed scatter without changing the whole feeding system
- Builders specifying a complete feed drop assembly
One-factory supply
Flooring, penning, feeding, water and climate are made on the same site, so a room can be specified and shipped as one order.

Materials and Manufacturing
Injection-moulded polypropylene. The Feed Drop Hopper is injection-moulded on JGM's own presses in Ningbo. Polypropylene granulate is dried, dosed and shot into a steel tool, so the part that leaves the press is the part the tool was cut for — there is no secondary forming stage where the dimension can drift. Colour is added as masterbatch at the press, which is why colour goes all the way through the part instead of sitting on it as a coating.
Customisation Options
- Sizes and sections produced to customer requirement on a full-container order
- Colour matched to your existing equipment where the material allows
- Lengths cut to your room rather than to a catalogue dimension
- OEM and private-label production accepted
- Packing and carton marking to your import requirements
Quality Control
- First-off part from every tool change checked against the drawing before the run continues
- Shot weight monitored through the run as the check on wall thickness and fill
- Surface and edge inspection on every part as it is packed
- Assembled items function-checked before boxing

Comparison
How It Compares With Other JGM Products
| Alternative | When to choose it instead |
|---|---|
| Trumpet Feed Drop Pipe | The trumpet drop pipe spreads the feed across the pan; the hopper controls the fall into it. |
| Maxi Pan Feeder | The hopper feeds the pan — order both where feed comes from an overhead line. |
| Dosing Cup (6L / 8L) | For measured sow rations, use a dosing cup rather than a free-drop hopper. |
Use guide
Installing and Running It
Step 1
Mount the hopper square under the line outlet so feed falls centrally.
Step 2
Match the hopper size to the ration — a large hopper on a small ration just holds stale feed.
Step 3
Check the throat for bridging when switching to a finer meal.
Step 4
Rinse hoppers at batch change with the rest of the feed line.
Answers
Feed Drop Hopper FAQs
What is the difference between 62010 and 62011?
62010 is the full-size hopper at about 419 × 179 × 318 mm; 62011 is the small hopper at 268 × 166 × 306 mm for narrow positions.
Will it handle fine meal?
The throat is shaped against bridging, but any very fine or damp meal needs checking during commissioning. Tell us your feed form with the enquiry.
How are they packed?
62010 goes 10 per carton and 62011 goes 8 per carton, both in a 450 × 400 × 600 mm box; the small hopper palletises at 250 pieces.
Can it be used with a trumpet drop pipe?
Yes, and that is the usual pairing — the hopper controls the fall and the trumpet spreads the feed into the pan.
