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.

Around the world in seven questions: New foods we’ll love
Last year was not a year of hyped-up headlines for alternative proteins. Perhaps that is precisely why it was an important year for food biotech, the biotechnology behind everyday foods and ingredients. While the sector worked through a difficult funding environment, approvals were still granted, pilot lines set up and new platforms tested in the background. In short: headlines are turning into infrastructure. Frederieke Reiners heads GEA’s New Food business. She and her team work at the intersection of biotechnology and industrial food production. In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
