Sealer Closer - USC-300

USC-300 Operator Controls
The GEA ultrasealer closer (USC-300) is a compact sealing and closing system for use with step-top multi-wall Kraft bags that have a polyethylene (PE) inner bag. For bags without an inner liner, the USC-300 can be used as a bag/sack top fold/closing system,making it versatile flexible solution for most customers’ needs.
This sealer/closer is designed for static operation where the bag rests on a roller conveyor or platform where the operator can manually control the bag throughout the handling and closing process.
Bags are manually presented to the sealer for semi-automatic sealing and closing operation using either a foot-switch or push-button control. Solid state control provides a reliable but flexible operation to suit a wide range of bag types. Temperature control is provided for both inner liner seal and to reactivate the pre-applied glue strip. Height adjustment is provided to ensure safe operation and to match existing bag handling equipment.
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.
