Gravimetric Feeding
Loss-in-Weight Feeders
Whether feeding into a continuous mixer, a rotary kiln or any other process, accurate metering of bulk solids is key to process control and ensures highest product quality standards.
Loss-in-Weight Feeding
Our gravimetric feeders and controllers are the perfect match for accurate feeding and dosing of bulk materials!
High-precision gravimetric feeding
Gravimetric feeding involves either weighing a requested quantity as a batch, or feeding a constant mass flow continuously over time. Gericke’s gravimetric feeders combine optimised mechanical design, precise load detection and sophisticated controls to guarantee highest accuracy for all loss-in-weight feeding applications. Special executions of our loss-in-weight feeders are available which consider the demands of the food and pharmaceutical industry.
Weighing systems with direct load measurement
A robust, yet simplified design does not need to come at the cost of reduced accuracy. Gericke’s loss-in-weight feeders with direct load measurement present the most economic and efficient way to gravimetrically feed bulk materials.

Hybrid weighing systems with tare-compensated load measurement
Gericke’s gravimetric feeders with a tare-compensated weighing system are perfectly suited for applications where emphasis is put on both highest accuracy and exceptional robustness. Because the dead load of the feeder is mechanically compensated, the whole load cell range is available for measuring the weight of the bulk material only. Due to our unique spring-damper system, vibrations are filtered before they even reach the load cell. Thus, Gericke’s hybrid loss-in-weight feeders are especially suited to feeding bulk materials with a low bulk density in challenging environments.
