Clemente Olive Reception Hopper
Versatility and Performance – Transport and Storage

The Clemente Olive Reception Hopper is constructed entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, providing superior durability, corrosion resistance, and hygiene compliance for olive handling operations.
It can be custom-manufactured in a variety of shapes and capacities to meet mill layout requirements. The hopper can be equipped with a stainless-steel dosing star, which regulates the flow of olives and prevents bridging or blockage during unloading.
For mills with limited space, the unit can be installed below ground level, allowing smooth integration with elevators and reception lines within compact or large-scale facilities.

For enhanced functionality, our hoppers can be equipped with a vibration-dosing device. This device not only doses and adjusts the flow of olives onto the belt but also simultaneously eliminates potential obstacles like air gaps (fruit tessellation), ensuring smooth fruit unloading operation.

Additionally, if requested, our hoppers can be seamlessly installed underground.

Uses
  • Reception and storage of freshly harvested olives
  • Controlled feeding to conveyors or washing systems
  • Integration within olive oil processing lines
  • Suitable for small to large olive mills and cooperatives
  • Custom setups for food and agricultural product reception

Why Choose This Product

The Clemente hopper provides long-term operational reliability and hygiene. Its modular stainless-steel construction ensures minimal maintenance and resistance to corrosion. The dosing star mechanism prevents clogging and ensures smooth olive flow, reducing downtime. Designed for flexible installation — including below-ground setups — it supports efficient olive handling and processing workflow.


 

Frequently Asked Questions

The stainless-steel dosing star is a key feature of Clemente hoppers, designed to ensure consistent, even discharge of olives onto conveyors or washing lines. Its rotating fins regulate flow while preventing bridging — a common issue where olives interlock and block movement inside the hopper.

When equipped with the optional vibration-dosing system, the hopper goes a step further by shaking loose any compacted fruit or air pockets (known as fruit tessellation) that could slow or interrupt the unloading process. This ensures a smooth, continuous feed into the next processing stage, improving efficiency and reducing mechanical strain on the conveyor or washing system.

These dosing options make the hopper especially valuable for large harvests, high-throughput mills, or operations where fruit moisture or shape variability can cause clumping during intake.
Yes — the hopper can be installed at floor level or underground depending on the mill’s layout and space requirements. For compact facilities, underground installation is often preferred because it allows trucks, bins, or trailers to unload directly into the hopper while keeping the reception area clean and accessible.

This setup also provides smoother integration with belt elevators, washing units, and sorting lines, creating a fully automated reception flow. Clemente’s modular stainless-steel design allows the hopper dimensions and access points to be customised for pit installation, including safety covers and service access for maintenance.

The flexibility of installation makes it ideal for both new mill builds and retrofit projects, ensuring efficient fruit handling regardless of space constraints.
Choosing the right hopper depends on your daily processing capacity, unloading method, and plant layout. Clemente hoppers are custom-built to match each mill’s specific requirements, with capacities ranging from small-scale units (1–2 tonnes) for boutique operations to industrial systems exceeding 10 tonnes for large cooperatives or continuous processing lines.

For optimal workflow:
  • Match the hopper’s output height and outlet dimensions to your conveyor or elevator inlet.
  • Consider adding a dosing star or vibration-dosing system if handling large volumes or damp fruit.
  • For automated lines, connect the hopper with Clemente belt elevators, washing machines, and sorting systems for synchronized operation.

The modular AISI 304 stainless-steel construction also allows later expansion or modification — an important consideration for growing operations aiming to scale up production efficiency over time.
