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.

The new GEA Application and Technology Center (ATC) in Sarstedt, south of Hannover, is neither a showroom nor a substitute for a lab. It is a place for testing, data collection and early decisions. This is where it becomes clear whether a biological concept can become a robust industrial process. That step is bigger than it may seem.

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.
