Highest loading flexibility
The GEA FlexLoader is a user friendly and space saving loading system, ideal for loading thermoformer or traysealer. With the GEA FlexLoader, a fully automatic loading of thermoformer machines with sliced portions or pieces is possible. Overlapping or stacking single products to a complete portion is easily viable.
Also, a stand-alone GEA RetractLoader or a combination of two GEA RetractLoaders is available. In the event of changing a format configuration, the operator only needs to select another machine program. The intelligent distance measurement and belt-speed calculation in combination with servo drives guarantees high positioning accuracy.
