Advanced feeding control: flexible, scalable, and future-proof
The GUC-F Universal Controller from the Swiss Gericke Group sets a new standard for process control in powder handling.
The Gericke GUC-F Universal Controller delivers precise, reliable control for feeding, dosing, batching, and weighing. It combines industrial robustness with the connectivity and flexibility demanded by modern powder handling applications.
The GUC-F Universal Controller from the Swiss Gericke Group sets a new standard for process control in powder handling. Engineered for industries where accuracy, efficiency, and integration are paramount, the GUC-F Controller streamlines feeding and dosing operations across food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty sectors. Its modular design and intuitive interface make it the ideal solution for both new installations and upgrades to existing systems.
A key advantage of the GUC-F Controller lies in its versatility and scalability. One unit can control up to four feeders in any combination, supporting both gravimetric and volumetric modes for batch or continuous production. This reduces equipment costs and simplifies automation setup, while its flexible architecture allows users to add additional feeders at any time. It eliminates therefore the need for extra controllers. The system supports analog and digital load cells, ensuring the right weighing accuracy for every application.
The GUC-F Controller features ultrafast signal processing and a self-optimizing control algorithm (TrendTec), achieving maximum accuracy even under demanding process conditions or during refill. Its intuitive HMI offers multiple language options and standard/expert modes, accessible via local display, tablet, remote browser, or integration with superior automation systems. With full support for IoT functionality and predictive maintenance, the GUC-F is ready for tomorrow’s automation challenges.
Data integrity and process safety are built in. The controller’s configurable user access system, secure logging, and direct A/D conversion of weight signals ensure compliance and traceability. Software updates and upgrades are available locally or over-the-air (OTA), making the GUC-F a future-proof investment.
Gericke’s GUC-F Controller is designed for seamless integration with all state-of-the-art automation networks, supporting rapid changeovers, remote access, and advanced diagnostics. Its robust, industrial-grade design ensures reliable operation, while advanced filter technologies eliminate random signals and environmental disturbances.
