New: Volumetric and Gravimetric Feeder GDU610
The volumetric and gravimetric Gericke feeders, with their high feeding accuracy, robust construction and modular design, rank among the highest-quality feeders on the market.
In the case of volumetric feeders, feed rate is normally not regulated continuously, but should remain constant if there is no change in bulk density. A precondition for this is constant filling of the metering organ.
Feeding of the bulk material, when using the GDU610, is carried out by means of a metering helix or metering screw.
Here at Gericke, we attach a great deal of importance to the linear course of the feed rate in connection with the development of a volumetric feeder. The feed rate depends on the volume transported per time unit. Precise volumetric metering is also an important precondition for high gravimetric accuracy.
The new all-purpose GDU610 feeder with complete emptying covers a feed rate range from 340 l/h to 36.000 l/h. The feeder can be used in connection with products with all kinds of flow characteristics, e.g. from ones which flush to those with poor flowing properties. A considerable number of intromitters are available in order to guarantee continuous, even product flow. Special hygienic designs, as well as those used when metering raisins and fruits, are also available on demand.
Since the beginning of this year, the volumetric feeder type GDU610 has also been available in the 3E-weigh feeder design. Various hopper sizes up to a standard hopper volume of 1600 litres are realisable. The 3E loss-in-weight feeders and the hybrid weight feeders, available on demand, can also be equipped with a vertical agitator in order to prepare bulk materials with very poor flowing properties for the metering process. Very demanding metering accuracy can also be achieved short term if the feeder is combined with the intelligent Gericke Easydos Pro controller.
