We have in-house tooling to form industrial hoppers in a variety sizes and diameters with straight wall options. Metals that can be used with this tooling includes cold rolled steel, stainless steels, aluminum, copper and brass.
Our industrial funnels are in stock, and ready to be shipped within 1-2 days.
Custom and sanitary hoppers are made to order.
What makes our hoppers different?
🔻100% seamless construction – zero welds
🔻Ideal for sanitary applications – minimizes cross contamination
🔻Option for adding a sanitary or food-grade polish
🔻Customization options: holes, fittings, hardware available
🔻100% Made in the U.S.A.
TMS is your one-stop metal forming partner — where strength, precision, and reliability matter, one-piece constructions make all the difference.
We specialize in one-piece metal forming, a process that enhances strength, cleanliness, and longevity. Forming from a single blank increases structural integrity, simplifies sanitation, and extends service life — especially in demanding applications like oil & gas, industrial food processing, marine, and material handling.
Benefits of one-piece constructions
🔻Fewer failure points
🔻Higher load-bearing strength
🔻Ideal for heavy-duty applications
🔻Increased longevity
🔻Smoother product flow
