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.
