Eco-friendly hoppers: technical efficiency and environmental commitment
Eco-friendly hoppers are designed to reduce the emission of airborne particles during the loading and unloading of bulk materials. They incorporate systems such as the “Flex-Flap” dust trap, which requires no electrical connection or moving parts, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs.
Thanks to their design, these hoppers generate a solid column of material during unloading, which prevents dust dispersion and improves the efficiency of transferring products such as cement, minerals, or cereals.
Adapted to each port: tailor-made solutions
At CHÍA, we manufacture eco-friendly hoppers that are fully customized in terms of both geometry and materials:
- Cylindrical, square, or rectangular models
- Modular or single-piece manufacturing
- Carbon steel, stainless steel, or wear-resistant steel
- Non-stick or anti-abrasive interior coatings
These features allow each design to be adapted to the specific characteristics of the port, the type of bulk material, and the existing logistics systems.

Real benefits in port operations
Installing an eco-friendly hopper has a direct impact on the efficiency of daily work:
- Reduction in pollutant emissions
- Improved health for operators
- Increased useful load capacity
- Lower cleaning and maintenance costs
All without interfering with the pace of operations at the docks.
Projects that already rely on our eco-friendly hoppers
In recent years, Espirales CHÍA has manufactured and installed eco-friendly hoppers in various Spanish ports, such as:
- Double hopper in the port of Santander
- Eco-friendly hopper in Tarragona
These projects are examples of how customized engineering can make the difference between a conventional operation and an efficient and sustainable one. You can discover the importance of having an eco-friendly hopper in the port sector here.
Connected technology: suppressors and cannons for a complete system
In addition to hoppers, at CHÍA we develop other complementary solutions for dust emission control, such as our dust suppressors and evaporator cannons, which can be integrated into the loading system to maximize environmental efficiency.
At Espirales CHÍA, we build the future
Sustainability is also designed. And at CHÍA, we do it from the outset. With every machine, every project, and every innovation, we are committed to a cleaner, more efficient, and more responsible industrial model.
