A Hopper is used to represent an equipment resource typically used to host a storage procedure to simulate continuous handling of solids. The procedure can be executed in a batch or continuous mode.

The unit is commonly used in continuous mode to execute a solids flow handling operation. In batch mode though the procedure hosted by the Hopper unit may include cleaning (CIP,SIP) and hold steps in its list of actions.
