Accessories
Accessories for the PowerPak Skin.50 enhance the line into a flexible and efficient packaging solution. With End‑of‑Line systems the setup ensures smooth product flow, high process reliability, and optimized line performance from packaging to final handling.
End of Line
Integrated End‑of‑Line solutions ensure smooth, reliable product flow from packaging to downstream processes, maximizing overall line performance.
Advanced technology
In addition to the GEA PowerPak Skin.50, the complete system includes GEA PowerHeat and GEA PowerJet.
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.
