Cubes are formed in the GEA ElbaCuber to user-specified size, weight, shape and hardness. Cubes can be formed to match specific market needs and promotional objectives or to produce seasonal product variations such as Christmas tree-shaped cubes for the festive season or heart-shaped cubes for Valentine's Day. All you need to do is quickly and simply change the dieset and you're good to go.
The GEA ElbaDryer cures and dries cubes for stable, low end-moisture content and the right packing humidity. Patented microwave technology cuts drying times and energy costs by instant heating and natural evaporation in the conditioner. 30% shorter than other systems, it is compact without compromising on food safety. Modular design lets you match the number of microwave ovens to your output.
The ElbaPacker can pack cubes into a range of box sizes. GEA’s unique packing concept combines maximum flexibility with minimum changeover times using the machine’s smart controls so you can replicate production specs for particular customers at the touch of a button. The ElbaPacker is easy to operate and clean too. We can also integrate the cube feed into your own wrapping process if you prefer.
The GEA Elba Line is engineered as a modular concept, helping customers choose the configuration matching their needs and production specifics. Its flexibility also means that it will also be able to adapt to new developments which may arise - making it future proof and a sound long term investment.
