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.

The impact of global warming is increasingly apparent all over the world. Towns and cities everywhere face the same challenge: providing their communities with reliable, affordable, sustainably sourced heat. GEA spoke with an expert in the field, Kenneth Hoffmann, Manager, Heat Pumps at GEA Heating & Refrigeration Technologies, about tackling global warming faster.
Something caught Farmer Tom's eye. Instead of another product demo, GEA showcased innovations via AR. That's only the start of GEA's interactive digital farm.
GEA scientists are working with researchers at the Graz University of Technology to configure a homogenization process and technology that turns eucalyptus pulp into 3D-printed, organic structures mimicking human veins, arteries and other tissues.
