GEA V-Packer LM-HP
High-speed continuous motion packaging machine designed for paper-based films in the pasta sector.
The demand to significantly reduce plastic waste in order to achieve a higher degree of eco-sustainability and to draw greater attention to the environmental protection is a need that involves the packaging sector in the foreground.
Especially in the Pasta sector, many producers are driving their attention to the use of paper-based film.
This leads GEA to the development of a new upgraded version of its top range Vertical Packaging Machine: the project involves the redesigning of the sealing group and the implementation of those technical details that are useful to correctly handle paper-based films in the pasta sector.
The resulting V-Packer LM-HP guarantees a uniform and continuous unwinding of the film, maintaining a constant tensioning and an automatically centered position.
The new sealing group permits to reach an increasing degree of pressure, which is commonly requested by paper-based film.
The improved HMI panel ensures complete control of the machine, easing the identification of anomalies and troubleshooting.
The combination between pressure, heat and a correct sealing time allows the new GEA V-Packer LM-HP to deal efficiently with paper-based film, maintaining performance and reliability, ensuring high quality of the packages and guaranteeing compliance with the most stringent rules for operator’ safety.

Beyond the firewall: Securing what matters at GEA
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.
Smart, stylish, circular: polycotton recycling with Circ
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.
New food tipping point
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.
