The packaging group is mainly composed of:
• The GEA V-Packer weighing doser, which features a single product feeding point with independent initial and final weight vibrating chutes and a pair of strain-gauge loading cells;
• The doser, which is combined with the GEA V-Packer packaging machine, which can pack 3 kg, 5 kg or 10 kg bags of long cut pasta. The GEA V-Packer can be equipped with interchangeable hot bar sealing jaws and/or heat impulse sealing jaws, depending on the type of film that it is being used. The jaws can be designed in order to produce bags with or without handle, ensuring high customization of the bag and easy handling for the final consumer.
Machine Performance (Referred to 5 kg bags of Spaghetti 1.7 mm diameter, length 260 mm).
• Packaging speed: up to 20 bags per minute.

The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
