GEA H-Packer SO Plus
GEA has re-engineered the H-Packer SO Plus for long-cut pasta packaging by integrating a faster, highly reliable and technologically advanced system, comprising a double dosing unit and a continuous motion packaging machine. This enables pasta manufacturers to increase their product flow, minimize their product loss, simplify line control, and ensure smooth filling in the packaging process.
Quick, perfect filling with new double doser system
The H-Packer SO Plus is equipped with a second weighing hopper and artificial intelligence optimizing product flow to the horizontal packaging machines with a crucial attention for flat and rough shapes and to remarkably reduce product breakages. The Artificial Intelligence technologies allows you to adjust the capacity of the drop-boxes to correct any weighing errors and ensure a better weighing precision.
Optimized film feeding and improved paper film management
Optimized film feeding and improved paper film management
The H-Packer SO Plus is also at the forefront in the management of paper film. Thanks to the double brushless motorized reel holder, it is possible to control the film tensioning from the operator panel in order to improve the unwinding of the reel and, accordingly, the appearance of the pack. Reel changeover takes place automatically and the phased junction of the film reel reduces at the minimum the number of rejected bags. The film pulling device, optimized for paper handling, is equipped with heated rollers that improve the longitudinal sealing of the pack without damaging the paper material.
Improved electronic architecture and customizable operator interface
The new HMI control panel of the H-Packer SO Plus
A new electronic architecture based on the Siemens PLC provides a centralized system control and a customizable operator interface. The intergrated electronic architecture enables continuous data exchange between the packaging machines and the plant supervision system. This feature, combined with independent brushless motors, allows a smoother flow of pasta and film for esthetically improved packages.
New safety standards for reliable processing
New patented stripping sealing jaw
The new LED lighting for quick visibility of possible malfunctions in the process and a protective device equipped with coded sensors ensure a high safety standard. A drop-box has been integrated as another accident prevention protection: It collects any discarded packages, either with or without product, with no need to open the machine doors.
New patented stripping jaw system
The machine is completed by a renewed patented stripper-gripper system which ensures perfectly sealed packages without waste due to the rejection of non-compliant packages. A new patented movement mechanism controlled via the HMI panel, further increases the operational reliability of the machines, removes the critical components and reduces the maintenance interventions and package rejects.
The combination of the new stripping jaw with a completely redesigned brush group makes the H-Packer SO Plus one of the most technologically advanced systems for long-cut pasta packaging, guaranteeing speed, reliability and continuity of operation.
