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.
• Stainless steel tank
• Fixed frame in painted carbon steel
• Manual damper
• Product presence sensor
• Motor-drive damper (optional)
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
In a shifting political and economic landscape, GEA stays the course. We spoke with Dr. Nadine Sterley, GEA’s Chief Sustainability Officer, about why sustainability remains central to the company’s business strategy, how GEA is progressing on its ambitious goals and what it takes to turn words into action.
