The vibrating extractor conveys the product from the silos and circular outlet hoppers homogeneously and continuously.
It features a flanged top connected to the machine and a rounded or conical bottom with connecting equipment. The adjustable-mass electric vibrators in the rear cause the extractor to vibrate to extract the product. The bottom and top are connected by an elastic joint and elastic suspension units. This prevents the vibration from being transmitted to the silos or hopper.
• Suitable for operation under pressure or vacuum
• Deflector bolted to cone frame
• Adjustable-mass electric vibrators
• Variable unloading diameter

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
