Continuous mixer for homogeneous blending
Achieve consistent product quality with precise mixing and blending, ideal for applications requiring minimal startup losses and high homogeneity, even at low concentrations.
Achieves Uniform Mixing and Blending
The Continuous Mixer GCM by Gericke is engineered to deliver unparalleled homogeneity in blending operations for a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. This equipment stands out for its ability to finely adjust radial and axial mixing (dispersion), ensuring low relative standard deviation (RSD) in the final product. Utilizing decades of experience and academic collaboration, the mixer offers precise control over residence time and energy input, catering to both continuous processing and high-speed operations.
Capable of seamlessly integrating into automated production lines, the GCM excels in diverse applications, producing pharmaceutical tablets, flavor-enhanced beverages, plastic pellets, and more. Its design supports various throughput demands while maintaining minimal startup losses and product residue. The mixer is fabricated from durable materials, compatible with corrosive substances, and meets industry standards such as GMP for pharmaceutical contexts. Its interchangeable mixing tools and housings facilitate swift cleaning and maintenance, essential for hygiene-sensitive applications. Custom configurations are available to match specific processing needs, supported by Gericke’s engineering expertise.
