About this machine

This Gericke PTA 50 CO is a mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a tumble blender or powder blender — designed for the mixing and homogenising of bulk materials. Gericke is a well-established Swiss manufacturer with a long history of supplying powder handling, conveying, and blending equipment to the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing industries.

Built in 2002 and offered here in used condition from a seller located in Barneveld, Netherlands, this unit carries serial number 50.2154 and has a working volume of 50 litres. The vessel is fabricated from stainless steel grade 1.4541 (equivalent to AISI 321), a stabilised austenitic alloy well suited to hygienic and corrosion-resistant applications. Both the top and bottom of the vessel are dished, a construction that supports effective blending action and facilitates complete product discharge.

The machine is rated to a working pressure of 3.9 bar, making it suitable for pressure-assisted processing where required. The top of the vessel is fitted with a hopper measuring 500 mm in outer diameter, 180 mm at the outlet throat, and 700 mm in height, equipped with a butterfly valve and pneumatic actuator for controlled product feed. The discharge outlet has a diameter of 50 mm and is similarly fitted with a butterfly valve and actuator, allowing automated or remote operation of the outlet. The seller's notes also indicate that the unit includes a pneumatic air conveying system, suggesting it can be integrated into a wider pneumatic transfer or conveying line.

The unit is mounted on consoles described as mobile, giving it the flexibility to be repositioned within a production area. Its footprint measures 1.1 by 0.8 metres, with a total installed height of 1.8 metres — a compact envelope for a self-contained pressure vessel blending unit of this specification.
