Direct discharge descender for product handling
In industries where bulk material transfer is crucial, ensuring the integrity and consistent flow of products from silos to packing or other plant areas is essential. Common challenges include potential product damage and irregular flow rates, which can impact overall operational efficiency.
Ensures gentle and controlled descent of products
The Direct Discharge Descender (DED) from GEA is specifically designed for seamless product handling. This high-quality, stainless steel descender features a monolithic spiral with a continuous section, ensuring a smooth and constant product descent. The absence of joints in the slide eliminates potential product damage. The spiral is crafted with seamless welds and supported by anti-clogging arms, maintaining an unobstructed pathway. A polycarbonate cover encases the entire descender, providing product containment and protection. Additionally, the descender includes a product hopper at the end and optionally, a gate valve can be installed at the bottom. The equipment is ideal for applications requiring gentle handling of bulk materials, such as in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
