Specializing in solutions for discharge, dosing and mixing projects for bulk material processing, Gericke offers the Feedos M, the second product in a new range of volumetric feeders that combine simple operation, easy cleaning and minimal maintenance.
The Feedos M is a high-precision volumetric feeder for medium flow rates from 20 to 3600 l/h. Thanks to its modular design, it is versatile and highly adaptable to both bulk material and process.
Cleanability and hygienic design
The Feedos M can be used in applications with hygienic requirements or in powder applications with medium to very poor flow. The feeder's trough design has been conceived to eliminate the risk of dead zones, facilitate access for cleaning operations and guarantee smooth product flow.
The dosing unit is easy to maintain, as it can be easily accessed and dismantled. According to Gericke, overall, "there's a considerable reduction in effort in terms of cleaning and maintenance, while retaining a wide range of uses."
Optimized sealing
The Feedos M features a new sealing concept. Thanks to the use of lip seals on the feeder and homogenizer drive shafts, the feeder is sealed even at critical interfaces with moving parts. "This makes the Feedos M a perfect dosing device, even in industries with high OEL (occupational explosure limit) or WIP/CIP requirements (Wash In Place / Clean In Place) "says Gericke.
A new, robust, watertight connection system between trough and hopper simplifies assembly and disassembly operations. Like other Gericke feeders, the Feedos M can be used in both volumetric and gravimetric modes when paired with a weighing system and a Gericke GU-type regulation controller.
Feedos M targets industries where, in addition to maximum dosing reliability, a hygienic, easy-to-maintain design is required.
Industrial-scale tests can be carried out at Gericke's pilot plants on the entire product range.
