For more than 115 years (founded 1894), Gericke has been planning and supplying systems for powder handling! In the pneumatic conveying technology as well as in the feeding and mixing technology Gericke belongs to the market leaders.
At the beginning of every project when designing a feeding and mixing station there is the question whether to create a batch or continuous process. To come to a conclusion, a careful analysis of the products and processes involved is required, considering the further conditions and criteria. Sometimes, the advantages might be with a batch solution, but there are other processes where a continuous system might be preferred.
The competence of a successful plant supplier is proven by the fact that he is able to judge the product flow and to identify any potential bottle necks or obstacles as this influences the choice of equipment. The importance of a mechanical set up of each component or a plant should not get underestimated; a constructive lack cannot be improved by any electronics or control technology but could cause big losses.
Gericke undertakes great efforts in R&D in pneumatic conveying, feeding and mixing technology and offers additionally components for quality control, e.g. equipment for size reductions and sifters. The know-how based, competent treating of a project is what a customer gets when speaking with Gericke. Gericke is able to do the entire calculating of a production plant and delivers complete solutions including control and visualisation. The reliability of Gericke equipment and systems is outstanding, numerous feeders, mixers and pneumatic conveying systems are running for at least 50 years at different places all over the world.
