TMS began in 1988 producing one standardized hopper. Since then, hoppers have grown to become a core offering. We supply 10’s of 1,000’s a year into the Plastics Fabrication industry. TMS understands our customer’s need for products that are high quality, durable and seamless. These hoppers are designed and produced so the material can flow freely without any hang-ups.
There are several options of hoppers, lids, cups, and domes in stock that can be purchased right off the shelf. You can also customize TMS stock products. TMS can either customize your hopper to your print or with you and your fabrication shop of your choice. Our mission is to produce superior products that exceed our customers’ expectations in a cost effective, timely manner.

The Metal Finishing and Polishing Process The polishing process is a secondary metal fabrication process that is done to create a smooth and shiny surface by utilizing abrasives or chemical treatment, and can be done by hand or robotic automation. The purpose of adding a finish or polish is to improve the appearance by creating
Benefits of Forming Deep Drawn Metal Stamped Parts The deep drawing sheet metal forming process is a cold-forming process performed in an environment at or near room temperature, where the metal is permanently deformed into the desired geometry. In this process, the flat metal blank is formed and stretched around a die cavity with a
The Basics of Sheet Metal Forming with a Hydraulic Press What is the Deep Drawing Metal Forming Process? The metal deep draw stamping process is a cold-forming process, meaning it is performed in an environment at or near room temperature. In this forming process, a flat metal blank is stretched over a die cavity with
The Difference of Deep Drawing and Press Forming It is commonly misunderstood that Deep Drawing and Press Forming are two different processes. Many do not know that deep drawing is a type of press forming! Press forming as, a broad term, involves drawing a sheet of metal into a specific shape using hydraulic or mechanical
Deep Drawing: Key Variables Impacting Metal Flow Common Materials Used at Toledo Metal Spinning Stainless Steel Cold Rolled Steel Copper Brass Aluminum Key Variables and Parameters for a Successful Deep Draw Blank Size Material Thickness Part Shape Part Geometry Draw Radii Draw Ratio Lubricants Die Surface Finish Die Temperature Draw Bead Height Draw Bead Shape
The Process of Forming Deep-Drawn Metal Stamped Aluminum Parts Aluminum is a very formable material, making it the perfect candidate to be deep drawn, stamped, or hydroformed. The deep draw metal stamping processes is a cold-forming process, meaning the material’s grain structure undergoes changes at room temperature, as the blank forms and stretches into its
What is Seam Welding? Seam welding is the process of joining two similar or different materials together, at the seam, by electronic current and pressure. The gap creates an electrical resistance between the materials, which causes them to heat up at the seam. This process is most common with metals, because they conduct electricity easily,
Commonly Asked Questions about Cylindrical Applications What are stainless steel spools? A spool is a fabricated length of tubing with clamp fittings, or flanges at both ends. A couple popular names are cylinders, extensions, tubes, spools, rings, or cylinders. These pieces are classified as spools when the flanges are on both ends. What is a
