Fill & Packaging
GEA vibration tables are applicable to a wide range of operations in the food, the feed and the chemical-technical industries.

The GEA Scan-Vibro Tables can be found in an open or closed design and can also be designed for the demand of a sanitary environment. The operations of the vibrating tables are typically compaction/removal of air from miscellaneous materials, shake-outs at foundries, vibration of cartons and cans for reducing packaging size, vibration of bags and sacks on pallets for stabilization before wrapping and testing of electronic equipment etc. at various frequencies.

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.
