Thank you so much. I will have a look through the links and research a little more.

Frequency of use In decreasing frequency on the Internet you'll find "hammer", "knocker" and impactor" for this.

"The pneumatic knocker is used for bulk goods with material flow problems such as bridge, siphon and residue formations, when high speed shakers and vibrators with soft sine-shaped oscillations are no longer effective. The effect of the knocker is comparable to that of the famous “silo hammer”, but without distorted silo spouts additionally impeding the material flow."

@ Cadastre In many types of hopper, a 'knocker' is used to 'knock' or 'jolt' the hopper and its contents to ensure that the latter are dislodged and able to fall freely.
Bourth Dec 9, 2021:
Context? We really need to know what sort of hopper this is. My first thought is of a rock crusher (producing aggregate) which could be the hammer type.

@ Asker Potentially something like a 'knocker' — but you'd have to check that!

Some hits from Google suggest this may indeed be the correct term, e.g.

Ainichi Do you have any context for the term? Hoppers can have vibrators attached to help move the product through them. In French there is the term 'vibrateurs pneumatiques à piston frappeur' which are units with a piston operated by compressed air that hits the hopper at regular intervals, e.g.

If this is what you mean, then this could translate as an impact vibrator or impact knocker

The most common techniques for detaching clogged powders, in addition to compressed air, are mechanical methods such as vibrating and impacting/hammering.

Where the bulk material flow is disrupted or irregular, putting the silo outlet (hopper) into vibration often is the only applicable solution. This has to be done carefully in order to avoid damage to the silo hopper and can be achieved by using pneumatic knocker,

The present device relates to an air knocker that strikes wall surfaces of a powder storage tank such as a silo, hopper, etc. to prevent the function of the powder storage tank from being degraded.

By applying pneumatic vibrators in the problem area, it will provide the best solution. Pneumatic vibrators will shake off the clogged or attached material and eliminate friction during automatic production.

The difference between choosing a continuously operated vibrator and an intermittently pulsed hammer or impactor lies in the nature of the application and material.
For those applications where you want to clear every last bit of sticky or clinging material from a container such as a weigh batch hopper, cyclone, or a spray dryer, a pneumatic or electromagnetic impact device is often your best choice.

PS model pneumatic hammers are part of the product range assisting with silo and hopper flow. They are used to destroying arches. The energy released at periodic intervals upon impact is transmitted directly to the wall. Hammers cause a highly violent impact on the wall. They are suitable for all types of silos and hoppers.
