Pneumatic dilute phase conveying system for powders and bulk materials
Optimize your production line’s efficiency with a conveying solution that effortlessly handles diverse powders and bulk materials, ensuring smooth integration and reliable performance in your manufacturing processes.

Transports Bulk Solids Efficiently
The Dilute Phase Pneumatic Conveying System from Gericke is designed for versatile and efficient transport of non-sensitive powders and bulk materials across diverse industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It operates using a high-velocity airflow to keep particles suspended, ensuring smooth movement from silos to receiving hoppers. This system accommodates a variety of applications, such as conveying granules, flour, cement powder, and more. With an adjustable rotary valve that serves as an airlock, it offers flexible throughput control and can handle operations in both continuous and batch modes. Featuring options for hygienic design and easy cleaning, it integrates seamlessly with existing production lines and complies with key industry standards. Built for both pressure and vacuum configurations, the system is compact, requiring minimal headroom for installation. Additionally, robust construction and material options like stainless steel ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, making it a reliable choice for demanding industrial environments.
