Automated filling machine for breading crumbs
The GEA BreadingFeeder is a dedicated machine designed for feeding a wide range of bread crumbs into the GEA CrumbMaster. The BreadingFeeder reduces the labor requirement, while the large crumb buffer helps to reduce downtime and supports faster product changeover.

The GEA BreadingFeeder provides automatic crumb filling for the GEA CrumbMaster. It communicates with the CrumbMaster in real-time for automatic crumb refills. The machine handles fine and coarse crumbs equally efficiently and has a 240-liter hopper. The breading crumb is transported through a vertical auger directly into the GEA CrumbMaster. Downtime is minimized by continually refilling the supply hopper in the breading machine.

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.

Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
