Model SS-SH Single Slop hoppers with high level cistern.

Stainless steel slop hopper model SS-SH-HLC with a high-level cistern and its components:

  • 11 liters stainless steel high-level cistern
  • Supa Flush Valve and pull chain
  • 41mm diameter stainless steel flush pipe and
  • 41/38mm reducing chrome plated coupling.
  • Standard stainless steel top entry slop hopper

Use the high-level cistern option with low water pressure or in rural areas. The high-level cistern is easy to maintain compared to a high pressure flush valve which has a complex mechanism. The flush valves require clean filtered water. We do not recommend using borehole water with flush valves, rather install a high level cistern.

Specification: Slop hopper SS-SH-HLC with dimensions 540x540x575mm, manufactured from 1.2mm thick grade 304(18/10) stainless steel. A 100mm high integrated splashback to the left, right and back end. The hopper (cone) is seamless and no prominent signs of welding. The hopper has an integrated flushing rim attached to a 38x250mm vertical flush pipe on which the high level cistern is fitted with a compression adaptor. The hopper outlet is ±101mm in diameter on which a gulley trap connecter is fitted (Not included). The hopper is covered with a swivel hinged bucket grid manufactured from 10mm diameter grade 304(18/10) stainless steel. The slop hopper is mounted against a brick wall with two 40x40mm square stainless steel gallows brackets and four anchor bolts (Not supplied). The unit is installed as low as possible but not higher than 600mm from the top of the front apron to the floor.

CHBC Slop hopper basin combination.

The CHBC slop hopper basin combination (combo unit) is made from 1.2mm thick grade 304 stainless steel.  Dimensions: 965 x 550 mm.  The CHBC slop hopper basin combo is compact and saves space inside the hospital room since it combines a slop hopper and basin. Furthermore, they are right next to each other making work more efficient and hygienic. The sluice is slightly lower for ease of access especially if a heavy bucket must be lifted and emptied into the sluice.

CHBC Slop hopper basin dimensions

The CHBC Slop Hopper Basin Combo has two flushing options.

CHBC slop hopper combination with flush valve

This combination is ideal for most hospitals and clinics.  You require a good source of 3 bar water supply in order for the flushing mechanism to work properly. The following Walcro flush valves are recommended:

  • Walcro 104T with isolating valve
  • Walcro 106T without isolating valve

We recommend the Walcro 104 with isolating valve because it makes maintenance very easy (Note that the Walcro 550 cannot be used in this system). You don’t need to shut off all the water of the floor, you only need to close the isolating valve to work on the flush valve. In areas where water is not that clean and building and alterations persist, we recommend using an inline strainer or filter to reduce maintenance and downtime on the flush valve.

CHBC slop hopper combination with stainless steel cistern.

This option is ideal for rural hospitals and clinics.  No need to worry about maintaining water pressure, as long as there is enough pressure to fill the stainless steel cistern the unit will work properly. Two types of cisterns are available;

  • Low-level cistern with front flush mechanism
  • High-level cistern with pull chain.

The most effective option is the high level cistern as the water flushes with higher pressure and velocity.

FAQ

What is a hospital slop hopper?2026-08-07T11:39:03+00:00

A slop hopper is a sluice designed specifically for disposing contaminated liquids, body fluids, cleaning water, and wastes found in hospitals, clinics and factories. It is a safe and easy way to discard these wastes which in turn are channeled through specific plumbing to be incinerated. Slop hoppers have a either a flush valve or high level cistern to flush the contents just like a toilet.

What size is a standard stainless steel slop hopper2026-08-07T11:43:06+00:00

The standard size of a stainless steel slop hopper is 540 x 540 x 150 mm with a 320mm diameter sluice and 100mm waste outlet. Slop hoppers have become so popular that various designs incorporate a basin as well. These slop hoppers can be made up to 2400mm long and can be customized depending on the requirements.

What grade stainless steel is used for slop hoppers2026-08-07T11:46:53+00:00

We use grade 304(18/8) and in some models grade (18/10) stainless steel. All models use 1.2mm thick stainless steel sheeting. In some rare cases grade 316 can be used but it will depend on the material availability. Grade 316 does not provide a big advantage in the areas where slop hoppers are used.

What is the difference between a flush valve and high level cistern2026-08-07T11:51:55+00:00

There is no difference in the flushing effectiveness between a flush valve and high level cistern. The most important factor is the water supply and flow rate. A flush valve requires good water pressure, high flow rates and water pipes that are 25mm in diameter. A normal households water pipes are 15mm. A high level cistern can be filled with relatively low water pressure and the water pipes can be 15mm. The flow rate is determined by the height of the cistern and speed with which the water falls down the flush pipe. Flush valves are not recommended when you use a booster pump or borehole water, in that case please use a high level cistern.

How are slop hoppers mounted against a wall2026-08-07T11:54:13+00:00

Slop  hoppers are mounted with the integrated gallows bracket in which there are mounting holes pre-drilled for raw bolts. The slop hopper must be installed against a brick wall.

What water pressure is required for a slop hopper flush valve2026-08-07T13:45:53+00:00

The water pressure for a slop hopper flush valve ranges from 0.5bar to 4 bar. This is well within municipal water supply water pressures, however, it is not the water pressure that is important but the total water flow rate. A slop hopper requires at least 65L/min water to flush properly which is quite high and a small 15mm water supply line will not be big enough to supply that much water.

Can stainless steel slop hoppers be manufactured to custom dimensions?2026-08-07T13:50:29+00:00

Yes we can. We can manufacture a single slop hopper with a top up to 2400mm wide. The standard with is 540mm. We can also include two bowls for the slop hopper basin combination. We have even manufactured a slop hopper with a large pot sink bowl to clean linen. Stainless steel slop hoppers are very customizable.
