The GEA V-Packer IM is an intermittent motion packaging system suitable for the handling of short cut pasta and dry granular food.
Machine controlled by PLC, driven by brushless independent motors and its versatility permits possible couplings with any kind of weigher and doser. It is designed for those customers that do not have relevant need for high speeds, but they rather focus on the quality of the packaging, especially concerning flat bottom bags.
Machine parameters are managed electronically thanks to the operator interface touchscreen type color panel for memorization, control and self-diagnostic of the operation parameters and to help the operator to identify easily the eventual machine stop causes.
The high quality of components (all parts in contact with the product are in stainless steel) sharply reduces parts wear and consequently maintenance time.
• Packaging speed: up to 80 bags per minute (pillow type);
• Packaging speed: up to 65 bags per minute (flat bottom type).

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.

From the orchards of the Cape to store shelves across 40 countries, the South African packhouse Betko has built a business on freshness, timing and reliability. With GEA’s controlled atmosphere refrigeration technology, the company can now store apples and pears for up to 14 months and cut energy consumption by 20%, with a partnership of more than 30 years at the heart of it all.
