The loading box supplies production lines with granular products such as semolina, flour and other grains.
It is loaded manually. In addition to the buffer hopper (one or two depending on the number of raw materials to be loaded), the machine is also equipped with screw extractors at the bottom for output product dosing. Screw rotation is driven by a gearmotor controlled by an inverter to guarantee the capacity variation required by the client. The screw feeder also has a safety system to prevent clogging at the discharge outlet to avoid damages to the machines in case of malfunctioning.

GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
