Advanced Technology
The GEA PowerPak 5000 gives you access to advanced technologies such as PowerHeat and PowerJet. Its modular design allows you to upgrade performance step by step as your production requirements evolve.
GEA PowerHeat
Designed for high-performance thermoforming, the GEA PowerHeat features up to 12 independent heating zones, an ultra-thin heating plate, and a temperature delta of just 1–2°C across the surface. This precise control not only ensures excellent forming quality but also enables up to 25% higher productivity and 30% energy savings.
GEA PowerJet
Packaging delicate or coated products often leads to sealing issues due to product movement during gassing. The GEA PowerJet addresses this with a laminar gas flow that minimizes turbulence inside the package. This reduces the movement of crumbs, slices or particles, resulting in a cleaner sealing area and fewer rejected packages.
