Optimize yield for irregular product slicing
The GEA OptiScanner 5000 optimizes yield when slicing irregular products by analysing contours and weight in real time. While X-ray scanning remains essential for specific applications—such as cheese varieties with internal holes—the GEA OptiScanner 5000 is purpose-built for many other naturally shaped product segments. It offers a streamlined, cost-effective alternative where X-ray is not required, reducing give-away without added complexity.
Engineered for high-volume production, the GEA OptiScanner 5000 keeps pace with demanding processing lines and ensures it never becomes a bottleneck, enabling seamless integration with downstream slicing equipment. The system handles a wide range of product sizes and is available in two configurations: a standard version for lengths between 200 mm and 600 mm and an extended version accommodating products up to 1200 mm in length.
With the launch of this advanced optical scanner, GEA adds a vital link to its one-line concept for irregular product segments. The OptiScanner 5000 integrates effortlessly with GEA’s broad family of slicers, offering a comprehensive solution from slicing to packaging—delivering consistent quality, high speed and maximum efficiency.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Beyond the machine: unlocking better plant performance
An efficient machine does not automatically make an efficient factory. Real improvement often starts by looking beyond individual equipment and understanding how processes, energy systems and operating decisions affect one another. It’s a holistic approach designed to uncover opportunities that might otherwise be missed.
How a valve reshapes the way food and drinks are made
In food and beverage plants, valves are commonly operated using compressed air. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology moves valves with water instead, in a closed, digitally controlled circuit. The result is a valve that can be held exactly in place and steered in fine-tuned steps. This results in lower energy use and greater control.
