funnel with large opening

Post by Mr-Zedd »

Hello everyone,

Any idea where I could buy a metal or plastic funnel sort of like the image attached?

I have bought large plastic funnels before with the same size opening as this (25-30 cm) but they all had very narrow holes, often around 4-5cm.

I need a funnel that has a top opening of around 20-30cm and a lower hole of around 8-10cm.

I suppose I could go to a shop and get one made, but was hoping for an off-the-shelf version.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've definitely seen them at Makro (used for putting food into plastic bags).

Mrs BB bought hers on the Pala-U road. Go over the crazy railway crossing, Just after the right hand bend, there is a shop on the left selling cheap plates etc. In there - Mrs BB says they have varying sizes.

I think a lot of street vendors use them to fill plastic bags. Perhaps ask one? Down here (Bang Saphan) I've seen them in the market

Thanks everyone, I will take a look at both Makro and the Pala-U road area. Glad to hear they are plentiful!

Appreciate the quick feedback.

Not that I suppose it will help here - why would any local emporium have a clue what is a 'marmalade funnel'? - but in the UK that's what they are/were called.

Just returned from the Hua Na Markets (Soi 102 opposite side of Hwy to lotus) and asked one of the vendors there where he got his food funnel (Used to put food into plastic bags, stainless construction) from and was advised the stall at the rear of the markets sells them in sizes with various openings hope this helps!

Makro had a small version funnel for 65B, so I bought one and attached it to a larger top section of a plastic funnel I had already. It will work for the time being. A proper stainless one, a larger size would be ideal.

Haven't checked Pala-U road yet.

Bluesky:
- yes that option sounds very promising. I am not familiar with the Hua Na Market. It is at Soi 102 and Phetkasem? Or is it further west down Soi 102? thanks.

The Hua Na Market is a couple hundred meters south of Soi 112, west side of Phetkasem, across from Tesco near Vana Nava.

You will definitely find what you're looking for at the Pala-U Road place.
