TrichterAbschluss

TrichterAbschluss is a term used in German-speaking engineering and industrial contexts to describe the closing element at the end of a funnel or hopper. The term combines Trichter (funnel) and Abschluss (closure or end). In practical use, a TrichterAbschluss is the outlet cap, plug, flange, or spout attachment that controls discharge, prevents backflow, and provides a seal when connected to downstream equipment.

Design and variants: A TrichterAbschluss may be a simple cap, a threaded cap, a welded spout, or a rigid flange that mates with tubing or a container. Some versions include a gasket or seal to prevent leaks, while others use a welded seam for permanent closure. The choice of material—stainless steel, plastic, or composite—depends on the conveyed material, temperature, and chemical resistance.

Applications: The component is common in laboratories, food processing, chemical industries, agricultural processing, and consumer packaging lines. The TrichterAbschluss can be part of a bulk hopper, silo, or funnel assembly and is designed to minimize residue and facilitate cleaning.

Standards and safety: Design is guided by general industrial hygiene and sanitary requirements; for food and pharmaceutical contexts, materials must meet relevant certifications (for example, food-grade standards and regulatory approvals).
