Gericke GCN Cone Nibbler completes the range of products for applications requiring a very fine particle size, or if increased bulk density is required.

 

Screen sizes range from 2000 to 150 µ.

 

Principle of Operation

 

The Cone Nibbler incorporates a vertically mounted rotating tool which moves the material across a conical static serrated screen introducing a low velocity high impact cutting action into the product which is fed by gravity into the machine.

 

Sub screen size product passes through the screen into the chamber whilst oversize particles not reduced by the first pass are carried by the vortex action of the tooling up towards the inlet returning it into the cutting chamber until the desired particle size distribution is achieved.

 

 

Typical Applications
