Sheeting lines
Production of high quality hard sweet biscuits and crackers relies on precise sheeting technology
GEA offers modular forming units that can be tailored to meet any processing or production requirement. We can configure both horizontal and space-saving vertical systems that include the desired number of gauge rolls. Pressure gauge units automatically adjust the feeding roller speed to ensure uniform dough weight passing through the rolls.
The range of technologies offered by GEA encompasses versatile cut and sheet lamination systems, rotary systems for embossing and cutting, and scrap pick-up conveyors. We also offer auxiliary equipment including depositors for distributing ingredients between dough sheets, sprinklers for sugar or salt fitted over recovery conveyors, ink printers and soda bath units.
GEA sheeting lines guarantee consistent, uniform and stress-free sheeting. Automated control systems optimize all working parameters and fine tune working conditions without the need for manual intervention. The control systems adjust the speed of each unit in the cascade to ensure that the correct mass of dough enters each stage, to guarantee high production standards and reliable performance. GEA systems also feature an automatic dough-sheet loop control system, which includes a sensor that detects the loop created by the dough sheet as it enters the nip of the final gauge roll. The speed of upstream systems is then automatically controlled and adjusted to ensure that the dough sheet is kept at constant tension, and ensures a consistent final dough thickness and texture as it exits from the final roll. All working parameters and operating conditions are displayed on the user interface. Most brands of PLCs can be provided to meet customer requirements, and facilitate user-friendly operator interaction with the control system and machines.

From fossil fuels to future-ready: The rise of heat pumps
While the initial interest in heat pumps was to save on operating costs, reducing emissions is now the main driver for the technology. Learn more about how GEA is spearheading efforts to increase energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions through hidden champion heat pump technology for industrial and district heating sectors.
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.
