Auger Samplers
GEA powder samplers have been designed to complement the powder filling systems we supply. Our auger sampler can take representative powder samples at the point where the powder enters the bag even when packing in inert atmosphere conditions.

Auger Powder Sampler

Twin Diverter

Six Station Carousel
A six head diverter system enables the sampling system to automatically switch between a full and an empty bag — or to switch between any of the six sampling positions if required. The multi-station diverter can be used to reduce the frequency of operator intervention and thereby increase the time available to the operator to perform other tasks. Alternatively, the multi-station diverter can be used to increase the number of samples as required by the quality control procedures. If required, manual intervention is also possible via the operator control panel.
Key features include:

GEA manufactures a range of sampling systems to suit sanitary applications, we use dynamic sampling. Superior methods of powder sampling are obtained by using procedures where the sample is removed from a moving powder bulk.

The GEA Powder Spool Sampler is a low cost hygienic solution for reliable and remote powder sampling designed specifically for Dairy and Food processors. The simple design provides a robust method for taking fixed volume powder samples at any point in the powder manufacturing process

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.
