Gericke AG products

Gericke sack tipping and feeding stations are ergonomically designed to provide safe handling for all types of sacks and boxes whilst controlling and reducing dust emissions.

Using rotary valves that are adapted to the specific requirements of a powder handling application, increases the process efficiency. Rota Val, a member of the Gericke Group, offers an extensive product range including standard rotary valves as well as hygienic valves, suitable for food and pharmaceutical industries. Rota Val manufactures also valves for bulk road tanker discharging and valves with very large entry section 600 x 800 mm. Rota Val valves are pressure resistant up to 10 bar and act as flame barrier.

Gericke offers different pneumatic conveying systems. They may be used, depending on the task. Our product range covers every type of conveying system, dense phase or lean phase. The conveying systems differ in the gas velocity, concentration/load (μ = kg solid/kg gas) and the pressure range.

Gericke sack tipping and feeding stations are ergonomically designed to provide safe handling for all types of sacks and boxes whilst controlling and reducing dust emissions. The main door is hinged at the top and securely supported by telescopic gas springs. Access to rotating downstream machinery is prevented by a safety mesh.

Various designs for secure filling or discharge and management of big bags. Loading stations with integrated scales and roller conveyors for transport of filled bags.

Dense phase pneumatic conveying systems are used when the product quality is of highest interest. They minimize changes in bulk densitiy and particle size distribution and limit seggregation effects. The absence of rotating parts in pressure vessels reduce maintenance cost, the advantageous ratio of product to conveying gas make our systems energy efficient.

Lean phase conveying systems are the elementary solution for transfering bulk materials that do not require particle preservation and are not abrasive. It`s advantage lies in the versatility of products that can be conveyed as well as in the space saving setup. The Gericke Rotaval range includes easy clean valves, welded and machined stainless steel bodies for Pharma and hygienic executions for nutrition.

The gravimetric feeding method involves either weighing a requested quantity as a batch or feeding a constant mass flow over time. The choice depends on the process that can be made continuously or in batch mode. Gericke Loss-in-Weight Feeders generate a controlled, absolutely constant mass flow, as required in mixing processes or extruder infeed. Robust, reliable and durable construction was the main focus during the development of the series for the Gericke Loss-in- Weight- Feeders with tare compensation DIW-KE, 50, 200 and DIW-E.

Proven design with thousands of running applications. Gericke feeders are designed for the accurate dosing of various bulk materials. The throughput ranges from 0.2 to 77,000 l/.
