With a combined production output up to 500 bags per minute and a new re-enforced modular design, the GEA SmartPacker TwinTube high-speed packing system brings big productivity benefits, more flexibility and operational efficiency.
GEA SmartPacker TwinTube gives you high speed and high output levels with top packaging quality. Its ingenious design operates two parallel forming tubes from a single drive, and runs up to four times the speed of conventional baggers. Ideal for confectionery applications, it achieves combined speeds of up to 500 bags per minute (weighing 10 to 18 g each). It is also possible to run a film reel for each drive, meaning packs of different widths and/or designs can be simultaneously filled.
Pillow bag ideal for; hard candy, soft candy, savory snacks, nuts & small cookies, dried fruit.
Reliability you can count on
Dedicated design for high-speed packing
High efficiency with a small footprint
Automatic detection of product between sealing jaws. The machine automatically creates a double bag to avoid contamination or damage of the cross seal jaws and knife and ensure continous production cycle resulting in less downtime and waste. Only one double bag lost.
With automatic web tracking the direction of the film will be adjusted automatically when the film deviates from its path, due to - for example - variances in the film roll. Thereby it eliminates all manual adjustment. Ultimately this safeguards the quality of the resulting bags while saving on downtime.
The GEA forming set with insert is reinforced with fiberglass, featuring less wear and tear, extra protection and longer operational life. The insert allows production of overlaps and tucked seams with the same shoulder. Each set has a rigid surface to ensure smooth running in moist or wet environments. Order the forming set with your SmartPacker or as additional tooling, depending on your bag type demands.
