Machine specifically developed for catering size packages of short cut pasta and granular dry products.
The GEA V-Packer KLC has a max film width of 870 mm and it can be equipped with interchangeable hot bar sealing jaw and/or heat impulse sealing jaw, depending on the type of film that it is being used. The jaws can be designed in order to produce bags with or without handle, ensuring high customization of the bag and easy handling for the final consumer.
The 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.

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.
