High-precision gravimetric feeders for industrial bulk solids
Accurate metering of bulk solids is crucial in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food production, and chemicals where precision directly impacts product quality and process control. Inefficiencies in feeding systems can lead to material waste, inconsistent product quality, and increased operational costs.
Accurately weigh and feed bulk materials
The high-precision gravimetric feeders by Gericke ensure precise weighing and constant mass flow of bulk materials. These feeders feature optimized mechanical design, precise load detection, and advanced controls. They are particularly suited for loss-in-weight feeding applications, providing economic and efficient solutions for gravimetrically feeding bulk materials with high accuracy. Special versions meet the stringent demands of the food and pharmaceutical industries. The DIW-PE model uses a high-resolution digital load cell for hopper sizes between 5-30 dm³ and can combine with FEEDOS S models and GZD twin-screw feeders. Meanwhile, the DIW-3E model, with 3 load cells, supports hopper sizes from 30-2000 dm³ and is designed for exacting hygiene standards in food and chemical processes. Gericke also offers hybrid weighing systems with tare-compensated load measurement, ideal for bulk materials with low densities and in challenging environments. These models use a spring-damper system to filter out vibrations, ensuring the accuracy of weight measurement.
