Continuous powder mixer for industrial applications
Achieve precise and efficient integration of powders, granules, and liquids with streamlined in-line continuous mixing, enhancing throughput and minimizing space requirements for your production line.
Blends and Integrates Powders, Granules, and Liquids
The Continuous Mixer GCM from Gericke is engineered to deliver precise mixing solutions for powders, granules, and liquids across various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It operates with a unique continuous mixing process that involves automatic gravimetric feeding, ensuring consistent ingredient metering into the compact mixing chamber. The GCM excels in applications ranging from cereal bars and chocolate fillings to cement mixtures and pharmaceutical tablets, supporting capacities from 1 to 100,000 kg/h. Its design accommodates both solids-solids and solids-liquids blending, with options for heating/cooling jackets and overpressure housing for material compatibility and process efficiency. The mixer is PLC-controlled, allowing seamless integration into downstream processes like extrusion and filling, while reducing energy consumption through its optimized motor configuration. Available in various material options, including stainless steel, the GCM complies with ATEX and FDA standards, making it suitable for a wide range of settings. Additionally, the mixer’s extractable paddles facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance, supporting hygiene and operational efficiency.
