System designed to distribute mixture to multiple points by means of shuttling containers.

The SNT receives mixture from one or more mixers and it transfers it to the machines located downstream. The transport is carried out using containers equipped with a lower discharge gate and mounted on a motor-driven system running on rails.
The system features a motor-driven support structure for the container, whereas an encoder controls its position.
The detachable feeding hopper and an optional container lowering system have been designed to easily reach the containers. Moreover, a motor-driven rack opening at the bottom and stainless-steel round tubes guarantee an effective washing process avoiding product stagnation.
Machine performance:
1-3 vessels on the same rail

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.
