Volumetric Feeding
High-precision volumetric dosing
Accurate and reliable feeding of bulk materials is at the heart of many processes. Gericke volumetric feeders combine a precise volumetric material flow and a high degree of flexibility. Often, they are the most economic choice for applications which do not require the exceptional accuracy of loss-in-weight feeders.
Complete family of feeders
High-precision volumetric feeding of bulk materials requires a well-designed feeder with an optimised geometry of feeding chamber and feeding tool. From sticky, cohesive powders to flushing powders – Gericke volumetric feeders are perfectly adapted to deal with even the most challenging bulk materials.
Our feeders are available with a wide range of feeding tool lengths to provide the highest flexibility. Special versions of our feeders fulfill high-end requirements in the chemical, the food and the pharmaceutical industry with a focus on a hygienic and easy-to-clean design.
