Overview
GEA ShingleLoader 600/ 700
The reproducible loading precision is a common feature of all members of the GEA ShingleLoader family. This means a wide variety of sliced portions can be fed to the thermoformer via the GEA ShingleLoader. In addition to the loading operation itself, the GEA ShingleLoader ensures continuous production on the part of the packaging machine, in most cases during the entire loading time of the slicer, by means of the integrated buffer conveyors. The consistent hygienic design and simple, quickly detachable belts enable a high degree of product safety through effective and economical wet cleaning.
Precise loading and high output
The GEA ShingleLoader is an efficient loading system to feed the portions fully automatically from the slicer to the thermoformer. The reproducible loading accuracy is a common feature of all GEA ShingleLoader versions. The integrated buffer conveyors, adapted to the thermoformer index length, enable a continuous operation of the thermoformer by compensating the entire reload time of the slicer. The number of buffer conveyors can be adapted to the required performance of considering maximum line length restrictions. The consistent hygienic design and fast and easy removable product belts enable a high degree of product safety through effective and economical cleaning procedure.

Add-ons
Add-onsLane diverter
The lane diverter is part of the GEA ShingleLoader and diverts portions from left to right or right to left. This is needed if the packaging machine’s die set has more rows than the slicer delivers. The lane diverter makes it possible to divert from 1 to 2, 1 to 4, or 3 to 6 lanes. A pre-spreading conveyor combined with a lane diverter can be configured in order to reach the right distance between the portions for automatically loading into the packaging machine.
Formatting station
To overlap 2 following portions of the same log to 1 portion with spreading elements. In combination with a lane diverter, it is possible to distribute portions from 2 to 3 lanes.
DoubleLoading Belt
Additional conveyor below the loading belt, to create overlapped portions by moving the complete format setup backwards and forwards before the final loading process into the thermoformer. Optionally available for the GEA ShingleLoader 600 up to 600 mm index length.
Aligning rake
The aligning rake is placed under the aligning conveyor. Pneumatically driven, it is used to align shaved or stacked portions on up to 5 lanes. This shortens portion for increased loading precision.
Correction display
The correction display is a matrix display used to trace missing or supernumerary slices of a portion on the loading area of the packaging machine. It shows which portion needs to be completed manually and with how many slices.
Pre-diverger
Available only for the GEA ShingleLoader 600 in combination with the GEA DualSlicer II. Guiding system to move single lane portions after slicing to the center line, in order to avoid a portion turning when passing the following lane diverter.

持続可能な冷凍で将来を見据えたコールドチェーンを
質の高いコールドチェーン管理の重要性を過小評価することはできません。傷みやすい生鮮食品が消費地で安全かつ高品質であることを保証することは、コールドチェーン施設を運営する人々にとって非常に大きな責任です。GEAは、低温貯蔵や配送センター向けに安全で持続可能な冷凍技術を提供する最前線に立ち、お客様の施設のエネルギー消費量と二酸化炭素排出量の削減を支援しています。
バッチ搾乳が現代の酪農を支える理由
自動搾乳における最新の進化は、バッチ搾乳を導入することです。バッチ搾乳とは、通常1日に2～3回、決まった搾乳時間に乳牛をグループ分けして搾乳する酪農方法です。自動化技術は、酪農場における乳牛の福祉、柔軟性、そして持続可能性のバランスを取りつつ、それと同時にコスト構造を継続的に最適化し、より効率的になるという、酪農家の最近の課題を克服するのに役立っています。
何もないところから
多数の国では、安全な水と衛生設備を確保することがいまだに課題となっています。汚れの混じった飲用水により病気になったり、毎日水を汲みに行くという役割を果たすため、学校に通うことができない子供たちが多数存在します。ドイツのハンブルクを拠点とする非営利団体Viva con Aguaと協力することで、GEAは一部のタンザニアの学校にきれいな水を供給する手助けをしています。
