Flexible Bag Closers
The SC-500 continuous sealer closer is designed to enable semi-automated sealing and closing of pre-glued fold-top bags in low volume production plants.

Sealer Closer - SC-500
The SC-500 is a compact sealing and closing system unit that uses proven technology for bag sealing and closing pinch-top multi-wall bags. A belt conveyor transports the bag from each module and discharges the sealed and closed bag to a down-line conveyor. The bag sealer assembly can be manually raised or lowered to accommodate various bag sizes.
An operator control panel is provided for the SC-500 to enable setup, operation and monitoring of the bag closing process. Transfer of the bag through the machine is controlled by a belt conveyor system with the bag top being controlled via a series of belts.

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.
