Gericke pulse conveyor Pulse-Flow PTA type Applications: for free-flowing to cohesive powders, coarse-grained products and granulates. Throughput: 0,1to 100 m > 3 /h Distance: 1 to 500 m Advantages: ٕlow velocity, kind to the product minimum segregation Օhigh loading/low conveying gas consumption How it works: The design of the pressure vessel ensures that the product is forced into the conveying pipe in a mass flow form. The conveying gas (air, nitrogen) enters the vessel and conveying pipe in pulses. Depending upon the product, separate or wave plugs are formed, which are moved slowly by...

Applications: for coarse, fine and fluidisable powders. Throughput: up to 150 m > 3 /h Distance: up to 800 m Advantages: low-wear (no rotating parts) Օminimum air and energy consumption PHFK 20: compact installation height How it works: The product is conveyed in layers using medium pressure and velocity. The air is introduced separately into the discharge elbow for conveying and the vessel for fluidising. > 3 /h with double sender. Applications: for products extremely fragile and abrasive products. > Vibration Throughput: 5 m > 3 /h max. Distance: 50 m max. Advantages: Օgentlest product...

Feeding the conveyor: Feeding into the > Dependant upon the product characteristics, filling capacity and available space, the most suitable feeding equipment is selected: e.g. gravity, discharge aids, screws. conveying pipe: > Rotary valves, venturi, special valves for abrasive products and for plastic granules, easy clean rotary valves. Pipeline couplings: > Flanged pipe connections, compression, dairy fittings, tri-clover. Gericke pipe bend > Type GB to counter wear andproduct degredation. Diverter valves: > Pinch, butterfly, plug valves, rotating tube, hose. Modern Gericke...

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