The Gericke GCN Cone Nibbler is designed for those applications requiring a very fine particle size, or if increased bulk density is required.

Screen sizes range from 2000 to 150µ.

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 while oversize particles not reduced by the first pass are carried by the vortex action of the tooling up towards the inlet, returning them into the cutting chamber until the desired particle size distribution is achieved.

Typical Applications

• Three standard machine sizes
• Quick release access to cutting chamber with safety switch
• Fully adjustable gap between rotor and screen
• Top adjustment of rotor gap from outside of machine
• Gap adjustment indicator
• Quick release rotor assembly
• Air purge seals
• Food quality seals
• Screen options range from 150 micron to 12 mm with various hole patterns
• De-agglomeration after drying, spraying or mixing
