Simplified Feeding Process Integration with Preconfigured Controllers

Gericke is pleased to introduce its latest advancements in feeding and dosing technology integration, the updated GUC Gericke Universal Controller
The Gericke Group, a leading international provider of powder processing solutions, is pleased to introduce its latest advancements in feeding and dosing technology integration, the updated GUC Gericke Universal Controller. With a rich history of over a century in engineering and bulk handling expertise, Gericke offers practical and reliable solutions that streamline complex feeding and dosing processes for improved accuracy and efficiency.

Feeding challenges

Feeding processes can often present challenges, and Gericke is dedicated to addressing these complexities head-on. Leveraging their deep understanding of integrating feeding, dosing, and weighing technology, Gericke ensures that processes not only meet accuracy requirements but also seamlessly integrate into existing systems. ”At Gericke, we recognise that precise feeding and dosing is essential for successful bulk handling. Our technology provides dependable solutions that simplify operations,” noted Robin Maag, Product Manager Feeding at Gericke.

Practical excellence

The GUC (Gericke Universal Controller) embodies Gericke’s commitment to practical excellence. Equipped with sophisticated algorithms that filter out environmental effects, the GUC ensures accuracy even under challenging conditions. Supporting both analogue and digital weighing cells, the GUC allows users to choose weighing technologies tailored to their application and accuracy preferences. It is also capable to control multiple feeders with one electronic.

Modern and intuitive design

An important element of Gericke’s approach is the user-friendly Human-Machine Interface (HMI) featuring a modern and intuitive design. This design promotes efficient operations by enhancing the overall user experience. Gericke’s technology arrives preconfigured and tested alongside the loss-in-weight feeder, offering a comprehensive and ready-to-deploy package.

Simplified integration

Furthermore, Gericke simplifies integration through pre-configured fieldbus communication to frequency inverters, saving time and eliminating the need for additional programming. The GUC empowers users with full local control over essential devices and options, including refilling with volumetric feeding mode, intromitters, agitators, and closing devices for feeding tubes.

Simplifying complex processes

”Our aim with the GUC is to simplify complex processes, minimise programming tasks, and reduce complexity on PLCs,” explained Robin Maag. ”Gericke is committed to providing holistic solutions that address various challenges in bulk handling applications.”

Demixing-free conveying system for ion exchanger
Gericke has delivered a turnkey system including raw material handling. It includes feeding, mixing and conveying technologies required to produce water filters. Gericke has delivered a turnkey system including raw material handling. It includes feeding, mixing and conveying technologies required to produce water filters. One of the key requirements was to avoid demixing during the process. The correct selection and design of the pneumatic conveying system was essential to achieve this. Water filter cartridges consist among others out of ion exchanger and activated carbon particles. To deliver the final mixed product to the filling lines of the filter cartridges several process steps must be passed. The system consisted out of several Big Bag unloading stations for the raw materials, vacuum conveying systems to the gravimetric feeders, a continuous mixer and a dense phase pneumatic conveyor for the mixed product. All involved powder processing technologies were initially tested in the Gericke test centre. Some of the products are humid and not free flowing. Successful trials reassured the customer among other insights that

Speed up your project execution with Gericke Pre-Engineering
Speed up your project execution with Gericke Pre-Engineering
A successful project needs a well-executed concept phase. With customized pre-engineering, supported by trials in one of the test centres, Gericke enables its customers to put their investment decisions on a solid basis. The crucial planning phase In this phase, the focus is on developing the right process solution and selecting the appropriate machinery and equipment. This can be for new systems or the modernisation and expansion of existing plants. Often, engineering in existing plants brings additional challenges, with limited space and time frames when on-site work is possible, and to minimise downtime. 3D scans in conjunction with CAD are a perfect tool to plan adaptations to existing plants and installations. Upgrading existing facilities pay significant dividends, especially if energy consumption or waste volumes can be reduced and the level of automation increased. Trials and tests Tests on an industrial scale reduce planning time and increase process
