GEA can provide fully automated packing lines for low, medium and high production capacities. Starting with the IBF-450 at 4 tonnes/h through to the impressive RBF-1200Li, which is capable of extremely precise packing at rates of up to 12 tonnes/h.
Our filler range feature a bottom-up filling system that minimizes the displacement of air and the resulting dust emissions are dramatically reduced compared with more conventional powder filling systems.
This makes them very clean and safe to operate, and the reduced product losses through better dust control, mean greater product yield for our customers.
PLC control with touch panel operation allows complete control of the packing line from the filler, whilst multiple product configurations held in the control system take care of a wide variety of packing parameters for multiple products. Optional Ethernet connectivity enables both local or remote monitoring and data analysis, using our customers’ SCADA system.
By adding GEA downstream equipment, we can provide our customers with a complete solution for automated bag filling, conditioning and quality checking, which can be combined and matched with any manual or automated palletising system.
All GEA automatic packing lines ensure a high level of performance and reliability, whilst providing ease of operation and maintenance.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
