Quick take
Choosing feed equipment starts with the job you need done. The four options here cover different points in a feed handling line: a used stainless steel conical hopper for staging, a new open-box drawer magnet for magnetic separation, an electric screw/auger conveyor for moving dry granules, and a 4-blade grass cutting and kneading machine for processing roughage. Their listed prices run from $549.99 to $2,357.04, so the decision hinges on which function your operation is missing.

Product notes
Plastic Process Equip. 1.75 CU/FT Stainless Steel Conical Material Feed Hopper
With a listed price of $549.99, the lowest in the group, this stainless steel conical hopper is a direct match if you need gravity staging. It offers 1.75 cu. ft. of capacity and a 24-inch width and height. Its condition is listed as Used, which sets it apart from the new and open-box alternatives here. That makes it a simple staging point rather than a powered feeder. The limitation is the used condition, so this option suits a buyer who is comfortable with a pre-owned stainless steel hopper and wants to keep the upfront cost at the low end of this range.
Accu-Feed Engineering 40170 8" Drawer Magnet, New
This Accu-Feed unit is an 8-inch drawer magnet listed at $550.00. It is new, although the box is open, and it is designed for use with injection molding machines. That makes it a component for pulling metal fragments from material flow rather than a complete feed conveying or processing system. If your line already has the surrounding hardware and you need magnetic protection, this is a low-cost addition that sits just above the lowest price in this comparison. The limitation is its narrow scope: it does not store, convey, or cut feed on its own.
Electric Grain Feed Feeder Granule Conveyor Auto Screw/Auger Feeding Machine 220
At $2,357.04, this is the highest-priced option in the group. It is an electric automatic screw feeder from PreAsion, with a 2023 model year and a South Korea origin. It is suitable for transferring dry granules such as pellet pet food from ground level into a hopper or filling machine. If your setup runs on 220V and you need automated granule movement, this conveyor is built for that job. The limitation is the price: it is the most expensive item here, so it is only worth considering when you actually need screw/auger conveying rather than simple gravity or cutting.
220V Farm Grass Cutting & Kneading Machine 4 Blade Feed Processing Equipment
The INTSUPERMAI machine is a 220V, 4-blade feed processor priced at $1,614.05. It is listed as new, with a 400-800kg/h model designation. It can cut and knead grass, corn, wheat, peanuts, beans, straw, potatoes, carrots, cassava, and other root crops, making it useful for preparing feed for storage or for later granulation. This is a processing tool for roughage, not a granule conveyor, so it fits a farm or small processing plant that needs to turn bulky crops into more manageable feed. The limitation is that it does not move dry granules the way the screw feeder does, and it also requires a 220V power source.
Final recommendation by use case
- For gravity feed staging at the lowest listed price, the Plastic Process Equip. stainless steel conical hopper is the starting point for a buyer open to used equipment.
- For magnetic separation on a process line, the Accu-Feed 8-inch drawer magnet covers that specialized job at $550.00.
- For automated dry granule transfer, the Electric Grain Feed Feeder screw conveyor is the high-priced option that matches that function.
- For cutting and kneading grass, straw, and root crops, the INTSUPERMAI 4-blade machine is the processing-focused tool.
