Peripheral production processes: a need for accurate feeding
Gericke, Regensdorf, Switzerland, points out that when special-purpose machinery is required for certain process engineering tasks, high demands tend to be put on the manufacture and engineering of the peripheral production process components. Increasingly such systems (e.g. reactors) are constructed for continuous production processes. These include the reactor feed, extrusion processes, granulating and coating process and thermal treatment. A key requirement is for continuous feeding of the systems with consistent and accurate levels of solids and liquids. This results in repeatable quality over extended periods, whether during production of metals, ceramics or even treatment of waste water.
As a specialist in high-precision continuous feeding of bulk materials, Gericke has gained a reputation as a successful partner for leading special-purpose machinery manufacturers and engineering companies. Its modular product portfolio allows for volumetric or gravimetric feeders to be specified, depending on requirements. Bulk products are fed into the process with an accuracy of 0.3% or better. The diagram shows a preliminary tank for refilling the loss-in-weight feeder, part of a system designed in this instance to produce high-quality raw materials used in battery technology for hybrid vehicles. www.gericke.net
