How can sources of bacterial contamination and sediments already be reduced to a minimum when planning a system? Which steps ensure fastest possible process from product idea to industrial mixing system? Participants at Gericke’s 2012 customer seminar received compre-hensive answers to questions like these.


Just under 120 participants from 59 different compa¬nies took the opportunity to attend the customer semi¬nar held by the bulk material pioneer from Regensdorf in Switzerland. The fact that visitors came from ten different countries shows that it is worth travelling a considerable distance to participate in a seminar of this kind.

Hygienic solutions – from simple coffee pots to indus¬trial plants – were presented by the guest speaker, Hans-Werner Bellin. As an expert for hygienic design, he explained the legal basic principles in Europe and using positive and negative examples. He showed how one can protect a product from unnecessary contaminants and bacterial load by means of a hygienic design.

The seminar participants acquired trend-setting information concerning process technology and engi-neering in the form of presentations made by Gericke specialists. They acquired knowledge about the possibilities available when developing a product from the first idea to industrial mixing. Further presentations provided information on the basic principles of pneumatic conveying as well as the latest developments in the field of feeding technology.

Practical examples were presented at the Gericke Test Centre so that the participants could visualise how the theoretical content of the presentations can be realised in industrial conditions. The visitors could see for themselves that Gericke’s range of products has been designed in ac¬cordance with the latest hygienic EHEDG guidelines.

Gericke supplies complete metering, conveying and mixing systems manufactured inhouse. Practical tests with pneumatic conveying systems and other devices included in the product portfolio can be car¬ried out at our Test Centre.

The visitors of the Gulfood fair from 19th – 22nd February 2012 in Dubai, at the stand F41, in the Sheikh Saeed Hall 1, will have the opportunity to become acquainted with our latest Gericke range.
