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.

GEA’s past fiscal year was one of significant growth and further profitability gains. In particular, the technology group substantially increased order intake, with all divisions contributing here. GEA also made progress in all Mission 30 strategic growth areas. In addition, GEA met key interim targets under its climate plan ahead of schedule. Major milestones in fiscal year 2025 were admission to the DAX index, the award of one of the largest contracts in the company’s history, and streamlining of the corporate structure.
Thanks to a new SmartParc manufacturing site, food processors in the U.K. are cutting their running costs and emissions. With GEA heating and cooling technology at its core, this collaborative production model demonstrates how innovation is accelerating the industry’s net-zero ambitions.
“Brewing eggs is like brewing beer.” It’s the kind of comparison that makes you smile – and then it clicks: Something complex suddenly feels simple. Through this personal film, set in the agricultural heartland of the U.S., we explore precision fermentation and the real-world work it takes to turn an idea into food.
