Maximize sellable output with a vertical form-fill-seal machine built for demanding food production.
The GEA SmartPacker C-Pro combines speeds of up to 200 bags per minute with consistent seal quality and a reinforced mechanical platform. It handles fresh and frozen produce, meat, poultry, cheese and confectionery while intuitive controls and prepared digital connectivity help teams keep production running confidently.
Maximize sellable output
- Runs from 10 to 200 bags per minute, application dependent.
- Delivers up to 99.75% seal integrity.
- GEA SmartMotion optimizes speed and motion for each recipe.
Keep production running reliably
- Reinforced mechanical core reduces vibration transfer.
- Engineered for up to 99% uptime under demanding production conditions.
- Round forming tubes available up to 400 mm diameter support product flow and reduce blockage risk.
Simplify operation and future integration
- Intuitive HMI provides clear parameters, warnings and error messages.
- OPC UA enables seamless integration with production lines and plant systems.
- Prepared for GEA InsightPartner and GEA RemotePartner connectivity.
Food applications and bag format
Pack a broad range of fresh and frozen foods in pillow bags, including fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, cheese and confectionery. Round forming tubes from 60 to 400 millimeters support smooth product flow, while compatibility with conventional laminates, mono PE, PP and paper-based materials provides packaging flexibility.

Technology highlights
Coordinated motion, film handling and sealing functions help turn machine speed into reliable, sellable output. The reinforced platform supports stable continuous production, while intuitive controls and open connectivity simplify operation and prepare the machine for connected production environments.
GEA SmartMotion
Achieve optimized output for every recipe. GEA SmartMotion automatically calculates the machine speed and motion profile, helping maintain efficient performance from the first bag to the last while accommodating different products, bag lengths and film materials.
Precision film and sealing control
Protect seal quality at speed. Automatic film feed correction keeps the film aligned, while dual longitudinal seal support and a synchronized dual-drive cross seal apply controlled pressure for repeatable results across different film weights and bag formats.
Connected, operator-friendly control
Give operators clear guidance and production visibility. The HMI presents key controls, warnings and error messages on screen. OPC UA supports line integration, with prepared connectivity to GEA InsightPartner for performance visibility and GEA RemotePartner for remote support.

GEA-inzichten
De doorbraak die het sproeidrogen veranderde
In 1976 gingen de ingenieurs van NIRO een concurrentie-uitdaging aan door de mogelijkheden van sproeidrogen opnieuw te bekijken. Hun idee leidde tot de meertraps droger MSD. Vijftig jaar later zorgt datzelfde basisprincipe ervoor dat vloeistoffen worden omgezet in poeders die wereldwijd worden gebruikt in essentiële voedingsproducten en belangrijke geneesmiddelen. MSD is het resultaat van tientallen jaren technische expertise, klantinzicht en voortdurende ontwikkeling, en is een verhaal van innovatie met blijvende impact.
Verder dan de machine: betere prestaties van de installatie ontsluiten
Een efficiënte machine betekent niet automatisch een efficiënte fabriek. Echte verbetering begint vaak met verder kijken dan de afzonderlijke apparatuur en met inzicht in hoe processen, energiesystemen en operationele beslissingen elkaar beïnvloeden. Het is een holistische benadering die bedoeld is om kansen te ontdekken die anders wellicht over het hoofd gezien zouden worden.
Hoe een klep de manier waarop eten en drinken worden gemaakt opnieuw vormgeeft
De kleppen in voedingsmiddelen- en drankinstallaties worden doorgaans met perslucht bediend. GEA Hydract® Actuation Technology stuurt kleppen daarentegen aan met water, in een gesloten, digitaal geregeld circuit. Het resultaat is een klep die precies op zijn plaats kan worden gehouden en in nauwkeurig afgestemde stappen kan worden aangestuurd. Dit leidt tot een lager energieverbruik en meer controle.
