Fast, Clean, One Man,
One-Floor Operation

What It Does | How it works
The Gemcomatic is an automatic system for transferring materials from shipping drums to Gemco Blenders, Dryers or Formulators and back to drums. This is achieved through the use of pneumatically controlled drum lift tray, a Gemco Dust-Tight Valve, and a vessel positioning system (including all safety interlocks) mounted directly to any shape Gemco unit. The result is a system that provides dust-free transfer of materials with substantial savings in time and labor.

Fast, Clean Operation
The Gemcomatic saves processing time. A typical Gemcomatic system will discharge a drum in just 90 seconds and fill one in less than 60 seconds. This means faster throughput and greater processing efficiency. The blender spends more time blending and less time loading and unloading.
The Gemcomatic is a clean, totally "closed" system. Drums are pneumatically lifted until they contact an oversized face gasket, forming a dust tight seal. The seal prevents dust problems and contamination caused by particle migration.
When loading back into drums after processing, the exclusive Gemco Valve provides a "Scooping" action which prevents over filling and messy spills.

The Gemco Valve: Gemcomatic couldn't work without it!
Clean, efficient totally automatic drum loading and discharging is virtually impossible without the exclusive Gemco Dust-Tight Valve. Unlike butterfly valves which require a flange or "spool piece" Gemco's unique design allows the drum to make flush contact with the bottom of the valve. When the valve closes, it simultaneously "Shears" through the material and "scoops" the material out of the top of the drum and back into the vessel. This action eliminates overfilling and spilling.
No other system provides this unique feature.

 Full Time Savings
Gemcomatic saves money in many different areas. For example:

Labor: Gemcomatic's entire process can be operated by one person. Often times, blending personnel can be reduced by one or two people saving $20 - $30,000 per year per person.

Equipment: Gemcomatic eliminates the need for hoppers, skip hoists, loading platforms, forklifts, and mezzanines. Plus, in many cases, its dust free operation reduces the need for ventilation and filtration systems. An important concern when dealing with toxic materials.

Maintenance: By eliminating many pieces of extra equipment , maintenance costs are reduced. The entire loading, processing, and unloading operations are restricted to one , low maintenance, highly reliable unit.

Cleanup: Gemcomatic minimizes the risk of spillage, thereby reducing cleanup time.

Operating Space: Gemcomatic is a one floor operation which occupies the same space as a conventional blender. Thus, blending rooms can be designed more economically without loading platforms or mezzanines.
These cost saving factors, when combined with fast operation and greater productivity, mean a Gemcomatic will pay for itself in a short period of time.
