Precise high-speed slicer
The GEA OptiSlicer 6000 is the optimal high-speed slicing machine - mainly for regular shaped products like calibrated sausage, salami, raw/ cooked ham and cheese – with respect to slicing and portioning quality, high yield slicing, high performance, easy and flexible operations.
The GEA OptiSlicer 6000 provides the ultimate slicing precision.It’sdesigned for regular-shaped products such as calibrated sausage, salami, cooked ham and cheese. The Optimum in Precision means perfect slicing and portioning quality with high-performance and flexible operation.
The GEA OptiSlicer 6000 isdesigned to slice regular shaped products. Various portion forms like shingle, stack, zig zag, shaved, interleaved* and folded* are possible (depends on application, *requires additional specification).
Slicing reliability you can count on
Flexibility in slicing you need
Slicer is easy to operate and maintain

The GEA OptiSlicer 6000 also includes new slicer blades with optimized geometry and the new GEA ResystRed/ ResystGold coating for an even smoother, more accurate cut, better portion control and less protein clogging.Crust freezing process might be avoided so CO2 and N2 consumption is eliminated, this results to a beneficial sustainability effect. There’s no need for a freezing unit in the slicing process, when operating with our dedicated saw-tooth edge slicing blade. This reduces preparation time and improves productivity.

This allows access rights to be allocated to individual operators, enables complete production lines to be managed centrally and recipes to be changed very quickly. GEA’s online remote access and maintenance service providesreal-time advice and intervention from experienced GEA engineers whenever it is needed.

The GEA Check 4000 is a high precision weighing system, detecting single weights of sliced portions while moving these over the check weigher. The single portion weights are analyzed in the slicer for weight regulation. Thus, the slicer is able to respond to varying product cross sections and optimize the deviation in average weights over a long period of production time. All side panels can be removed swiftly without tools for cleaning and maintenance. The weighing conveyors can be swiveled upwards for easy removal of belts for cleaning issues. The GEA Check 4000 is available from 1- up to 4-lane configuration.The weighing system is calibrated for loads between 20 and 5,000 g.

The GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200 is a pre-scanner system that makes it possible to slice natural products like dry cured ham and cheese with lowest give-away, maximum yield and on-weight portions. The scanner literally looks into the product and determines the density distribution over the length of the product by means of x-ray technology. In this process, the device detects irregular outer contours as wellas holes, under slices and irregular distribution of fat and meat. Based on the density distribution, the intelligent software calculates the ideal slice thickness and/or number of slices for each portion prior to slicing.

Das Thermoformen ist ein seit langem etablierter Prozess in der Lebensmittelverpackung. Nun steht es vor einem tiefgreifenden Wandel. Angesichts strengerer Vorschriften, sich weiterentwickelnder Materialien und steigender Kosten müssen Form-Fill-Seal-Anlagen mehr leisten als nur zuverlässig zu laufen – sie bestimmen maßgeblich, wie Lebensmittel frisch, erschwinglich und recycelbar bleiben. Wir geben Ihnen einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Trends im Thermoformen, die die Landschaft der Lebensmittelverpackung und -lieferung prägen.

Von den Obstplantagen am Kap bis in die Regale von 40 Ländern – das südafrikanische Verpackungsunternehmen Betko hat sein Geschäft auf Frische, zeitliche Präzision und Zuverlässigkeit aufgebaut. Dank der Kühltechnologie mit kontrollierter Atmosphäre von GEA kann das Unternehmen nun Äpfel und Birnen bis zu 14 Monate lang lagern und den Energieverbrauch um 20 % senken. All dies basiert auf einer mehr als 30-jährigen Partnerschaft.
