The vibrating extractor is designed to extract product from a silo or hopper and then meter it and distribute it uniformly across the entire outlet width.
The machine is equipped with a suitably sized stainless-steel tank, a vibrating unit and a fixed frame supported by suspension elements to dampen oscillating movements.
The vibrating unit features two rotary electric vibrators and is mounted directly on the tank. It allows easy access for manual adjustment of the eccentric weights.
The number of suspension elements between the tank and the fixed frame varies depending on the size of the extractor.
The machine throughput depends on whether the damper is manual or motor-driven. It can be adjusted to regulate the product discharge rate.
Each extractor is also equipped with a sensor that monitors the presence of product in the tank. For special production requirements (e.g. production of mixtures) this sensor also ensures execution of the correct product cycle.

The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world. Towns and cities everywhere face the same challenge: providing their communities with reliable, affordable, sustainably sourced heat. GEA spoke with an expert in the field, Kenneth Hoffmann, Manager, Heat Pumps at GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies, about tackling global warming faster.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
