Pneumatic conveying - 16064 G

ericke conveying systems forthe food industry are designed to meet stringent hygiene requirements. The Gericke standard includes materials of construction, welding procedures, surface finish, sealmaterials and cleaning access. In many applications the filtration,drying and cooling of the conveying air must also comply with recognised standards. Typical applications in the foodindustry include road tanker off- loading, gentle transport of fragile products to storage vessels, process operations and packing. Gericke vacuum conveying

Typical: •flexibility of design layout •low height at pick up point Sugar and dextrose for chocolates, sweets, yoghurt, infant foods or beverages Advantages: •extremely slow and gentle •constant velocity, no final expansion thanks to double sender conveying

Gericke dense phase conveyor

Advantages: Pulse-Flow™ type How it works: Typical: The product characteristics and the minimum conveying velocity are the most important factors when selecting the most appropriate conveying system. Low velocity conveyors not only minimise product degradation but also reduce noise and equipment wear. All materials are trialed in the Gericke test laboratory where the optimum conveying condition can be determined using the latest state of art technology. Tests can be conducted over distances of 15 to 280 metres with a full range of system configurations. For gently conveying of milk powder, instant beverage granulate from dryer or granulator into intermediate hoppers and to filling machines.
