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).

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.
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.
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.
