GEA M-Weigher Series
GEA multihead weighers guarantee the highest performances thanks to their remarkable accuracy and reliability. The highest speed version with 20 hoppers, combined with a continuous motion packaging unit, is able to pack up to 130 bags per minute.
The GEA M-Weigher is an high precision multiheads weigher systems for short-cut pasta, which can be coupled with vertical packaging machines or other primary packaging machineries, ensuring high degree of performance and efficiency as well as permitting to to meet the expectations of Customers who are looking for a single supplier to deal with.
The series are composed by single weighing heads which are located in circle and fed by a continuous flux of product coming from a central distribution system. The opening of the hoppers is driven by stepper motors. Moreover, the M-Weighers are supplied with either a feeding belt or a vibrating plate controlled by a weight detection cell and/or photocell. The central cone constantly feeds the vibrators and the weigher is supplied with a powered shutter located inside the unloading chutes to prevent product breakages (the shutter can be easily excluded by program).
Particular attention has been paid to the weigher accessibility and cleaning, making the machine suitable for a wide range of products, from the strongest to most fragile one like snacks, pet food and dry pasta.
Additionally, specific devices have been implemented in order to avoid dust intrusion. The simple construction of the hoppers fits makes their disassemble easy, with machine stops being reduced thanks to the easy replacement of each weighing head.
Accessibility and cleaning
All the parts in touch with the product are made in food-grade stainless steel.
Moreover, specific devices have been implemented in order to avoid dust intrusion.
A back-lit LCD touch-screen type terminal with local intelligence is the operator interface. The display is equipped with an industrial PC with hard disk and USB port. All the GEA M-Weigher are equipped with some standards accessories, specifically designed for the pasta production:
• Central conveying system;
• Antispillage hopper;
• Possibility to store up to 100 different production programs;
• Self-diagnostic system to detects eventual stoppages and identifies the causes.

Reality check for biotech
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.
Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
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.
