The GEA H-Packer SI is an intermittent motion packaging machine for long cut pasta and special products in pillow type bags.
• Single doser consisting of a weighing unit and a volumetric finishing system to reach the final weight; adjustable feeding channel, which enables the handling of various long cut pasta formats;
• Horizontal packaging machine managed through PLC.
Efficiency is ensured by the possibility to design the machine with a double sealing system with hot bar and heat impulse (depending if laminated or polyethylene film), guaranteeing a minimum percentage of rejected packs. The machine can handle rough and difficult flowing products, thanks to mechanical and pneumatic motion.
The GEA H-Packer SI features high-quality materials which sharply decrease parts’ wear and consequently maintenance time. The film reels located underneath allow easy replacement. Its parameters are easily managed thanks to the operator interface touchscreen type color panel for memorization, control and self-diagnostic of the operation parameters.
• Packaging speed: up to 60 bags per minute.
Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
