Size Reduction System comes in mild or stainless steel.
Press Release Summary:
Nibbler uses cutting or grating action to produce consistent particle size and virtually no heat generation or dust. Its fully adjustable rotor assembly, operating at less than 100 fpm, pulls material along perforated steel plate. Nibbler is available in sizes starting at NBS 200x200 (8 x 8 in.). Removable perforated grate (from 0.04 to 1 in.) is also available, and can be removed and reinstalled without disturbing flange connections or rotor.Original Press Release:
The Gericke "Nibbler" Is One Of The Most Innovative And Cost Effective Size Reduction Systems Available
The Nibbler uses a cutting or grating action to produce consistent particle size and virtually no heat generation or dust. Used for a wide range of applications from food and pharmaceuticals to plastics and general chemical.
Release: For over 100 years has provided solids handling and processing solutions with unparalleled expertise. The "Nibbler" was developed to meet the demands of processors that required a method of size reduction that did not generate fines or cause a temperature rise in the product. The "Nibbler" meets these challenges by using a low speed (<100 feet per minute) fully adjustable rotor assembly, which pulls material along a proprietary perforated steel plate. Low heat generation is critical for many food applications where sugar or gum based products might melt or stick with elevated temperature. Temperature sensitive resins and coatings in the chemical industry also benefit from the efficient performance of the "Nibbler. "The "Nibbler" is available in a range of sizes from the NBS 200x200 (8" x 8)" model illustrated here to very large units capable of handling many tons per hour. The Also available as removable perforated grate with sizes from 1.1 to 25 mm (0.04" to 1"), can be removed and reinstalled without disturbing the flange connections or the rotor. The "Nibbler" is available in mild or stainless steel and various finishes including highly polished units for pharmaceutical applications.
