Gericke Adds Automated Feeder Control System to Test Lab
Universal feeder controller manages multiple feeders.
Process equipment manufacturer Gericke USA has added the GUC-F universal feeder controller to its NJ test laboratory.
Installed to speed material and machinery testing and document the results with a high level of data integrity, the controller automates control over weighing, dosing, and feeding from up to four different feeders running tests at the same time. The multiple feeders may be controlled, monitored, and adjusted on-the-fly from a single HMI screen.
Selected for the test lab for its accuracy and versatility in a diverse range of dry bulk material processing applications, the automated feeder control system operates in gravimetric and volumetric feeding modes in both batch and continuous processes. The controller integrates seamlessly with a variety of automation and process control software, and Internet of Things (IoT) networks, to achieve consistent, repeatable results when scaled with minimal setup.
The advanced feeder control technology joins a lineup of full-size equipment in the test laboratory that includes mixers, centrifugal sifters, Nibbler lump breakers, conveyors, bag feeding and discharge stations, weigh feeders, and associated control systems. Tests may be shown via live stream, split screen video conferencing, online video, or live in person at the test facility by appointment.
