Palletizers & Depalletizers
Palletizer Fluens achieves a production speed of over 8 layers/min in configuration with low level product infeed and vertical lift pallet loading, and over 10 layers/min if equipped with high level product infeed.

Packs are fed on two or more lanes, combined in layer patterns and transferred straight in-line onto the pallet. The layer formation is achieved using a pack distributing system: either through a continuously moving traditional divider or using a robotized pack manipulator.
Once shaped, the layer is transferred onto an intermediate table which brings it up to the unloading level on the pallet. The intermediate table consists of a comb-shaped steel structure. On the upper part of the machine, a similar comb-shaped table, installed on a mobile bridge, collects the layer once the intermediate table has reached the top height (patented system).
A pusher-compactor, fixed to the mobile table, transfers the layer from the formation zone to the mobile table. A second pusher, installed on the upper part of the machine, transfers the layer from the mobile table to the discharge head, which positions it on the pallet. The discharge head, featuring a central opening with rollers, is set at a fixed height. The pallet is placed on a lifter that moves vertically to receive the layer.
Fluens uses belt transmission where possible to reduce noise and eliminate the need for lubrication. The design allows the system to be configured simply as required and gives open access to all parts of the machine for easy set up and maintenance.

Depalletizer Velox discharges product from the top and features a vertical lift pallet unloading system designed for medium to high speed. The main operations (i.e. pallet lift, pallet transfer, etc.) are controlled through encoders: this gives extremely accurate positioning during operation.

The POLARIS EVO system allows the preparation of a whole layer of products, according to a pre-defined pattern, with pack gripping heads that move and/or rotate packs to their required position, avoiding shocks thanks to a gentle handling.

Agilis is a palletizer with high level product infeed and a vertical lift pallet loading system. Depending on the production speed required it’s possible to configure a single, double or triple infeed with row preparation on positive belts. Agilis is also available with a pack divider or manipulator to speed-up the production and/or to secure uns...

Low level infeed mono–column type palletizer Artis EVO features a steady pallet loading system and an innovative layer pick-up head. It is suitable for medium/high production capacity.

Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
