About us
Gerco Technik GmbH drying conveying and more...
Gerco Technik GmbH has its roots in Gerco Apparatebau GmbH & Co KG, which was founded in the 1950s. In the 1970s, the company began developing and producing drying and conveying technology for the plastics industry. Since May 2016, the Scheffer Group has discontinued its activities in the Gerco Kunststofftechnik division, and all production and business activities have now been taken over by Gerco Technik GmbH. As part of this acquisition, the company headquarters were relocated to Ennigerloh.
Over the years, the product range has been steadily expanded and new markets have been opened up. The products are distributed through our own representatives in Germany, in almost all European countries, and internationally. The product range includes dry air dryers, warm air dryers, material handling equipment, dosing stations, and sprue pickers. Customized solutions are also offered.
Gerco has earned an excellent reputation through consistently high quality standards and flexible adaptation to different markets. A qualified team, both at headquarters and in the field, ensures technically flawless products, personalized advice, and excellent service. The drying technology impresses with maximum drying volume in the smallest space, flexibility and mobility, easy handling and multilingual convenient operation.
Products & services
Dryer dry air multi-chamber TTM 4/50 EST
Inspiring drying technology. Maximum volume in minimal space. Flexible and mobile, usable anywhere.
Conveying injector conveyor IF 01 / IF 03
The Gerco IF series injector feeders are designed for conveying all types of plastic granules. They operate according to the Venturi principle with compressed air and enable the automatic filling of GERCO dryers with a maximum individual container volume of 50 liters, as well as plastics processing machines. The GERCO granulate dryers feature special connection components that establish a connection between the conveyor and the dryer.
Conveying Universal Conveyor GDFuni
The Gerco GDFuni series vacuum conveyors are suitable for conveying both difficult-to-flow powders and plastic granules. They are equipped with a compressed air drive that enables automatic filling of dosing and mixing devices, as well as dryers, with powders and granules. The GDFuni achieves a maximum conveying capacity of up to 250 kg/h for granules.
Dosing Volumetric dosing device
The GVD volumetric dosing device is ideal for producing granulate and masterbatch mixtures in the range of 0.1 to 50 g/s (max. 180 kg/h). Thanks to its design and modular structure, it offers user-friendly operation and quick cleaning. The device consists of a base module to which the plastic granulate container and the dosing unit are connected. The control system is housed in a separate housing, and the digital display allows for easy adjustment of the dosing ratio. The GVD is suitable for both injection molding and extrusion lines.
Sprue picker HS 500 S, HS 500 handling system
The handling system is ideal for removing sprues or finished parts. It can be flexibly adapted to the specific requirements and wishes of customers.
Dryer attachment system TAS / TAS jet
The TAS can dry all plastic granules up to a temperature of 190°C. Its compact stainless steel design makes the device not only aesthetically pleasing but also ideal for industrial use. The modular structure of the drying system allows for optimal adaptation to various requirements. When mounted on the processing machine, the dryer can be automatically fed via an injector feed system (TAS jet). The dryer operates with expanded, deoiled, and dried compressed air. This compressed air is expanded in the dryer and heated by a heater. The heated air then flows through the plastic granules, removing the moisture. A microcontroller monitors the entire drying process. Using a proportional valve and a temperature sensor in the container, the required air volume is continuously monitored and adjusted to the process. This ensures gentle and energy-efficient drying of the plastic granules and prevents overdrying of the material. The large display allows for remote monitoring of the processes. If this is not possible, the control panel can be removed and placed within easy reach of the operator, which offers optimal operating comfort, for example on vertical machines.
Conveying two-station granulate conveyor
The ZSF series conveyors are used for conveying all types of plastic granules. The units are equipped with a side channel blower and are used for the automatic filling of two plastics processing machines. The GERCO granulate dryers feature special mounting elements for connecting the conveyor and dryer.
Residual moisture measuring device for solids HT3
Determining Water Content in Solids The Hydro Tracer is a highly accurate absolute measuring device that measures low water contents in solids. It determines the actual amount of water present in the sample. 1. Graphic display on the PC and printout of measurement reports using a standard printer. 2. Easy to use. 3. Flexible for use at different locations.
Dryer attachment warm air dryer AWT
The top-mounted warm air dryers consist of an insulated container equipped with a permanently installed warm air generator. They are designed for drying non-hygroscopic plastic granules. These dryers can be mounted either on a roller frame or directly on the processing machines. They can also be automated with conveyors. An integrated temperature control system ensures that the non-hygroscopic plastic granules are dried with energy efficiency.
