Sandwiching machine
Capptronic sandwiching line – the smart option for precision and versatility
The Capptronic HS comprises a conveyor that aligns biscuits coming out of the tunnel oven and cooling conveyors, from where they are transferred to a conveyor on which the processes of overturning, depositing and capping are carried out. Biscuit caps are gently positioned using Venturi effect suction cups, which minimizes the risk of damage and product loss.
Developed to offer high depositing accuracy, the Capptronic HS features a smart biscuit tilting system, coupled with a manifold design that maintains product weight, so you can expect reproducible, precisely formed products, whatever recipe, texture or form.
All moving parts are driven by robust servo motors, which can be controlled automatically according to recipe, and fine tuned manually so you can maintain precise control of every parameter. The system also features a built-in function for bypassing unfilled products, which reduces waste and stoppage time.
Constructed using food-grade stainless steel, Capptronic HS has been designed to aid fast and thorough washing, and to minimize the risk of water sitting and stagnating in any areas of the equipment after washing. All the conveyor components can be stripped down for easy cleaning, and the manifold and capping motion units are housed in secure stainless steel enclosure.

Optional features
We realize that every business will have different requirements, so we offer optional features for the Capptronic HS, including a quality control machine vision system that can detect and eject substandard single products that are broken, inadequately baked or the wrong size. An optional manifold with photo eye-controlled no product no deposit functionality can also be supplied.

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
