Advanced technology

Motor-driven film unwinding and web tensioning system

The unwinding systems for the top and bottom films are motorized and synchronized with the machine's advancing cycle. In combination with the innovative web tensioning system, they facilitate a controlled unwinding, a simplified and secure film path. This means optimum film tension due to extremely low and even force progression on the sealing seams. An automatic film replacement position and a simplified and shortened film path cut film replacement times and film consumption when changing.

Axial film position monitoring system

For the top and bottom films, it is possible to adjust the transverse position during operation. The axial position of the films is automatically monitored and regulated by means of an adjustment control. Film tracking or curvature of the top and bottom film will be automatically adjusted. Top- and bottom web fit accurately to each other.

Options GEA PowerPak PLUS

GEA OxyCheck

GEA OxyCheck is an in-line quality control system that checks the residual oxygen content and seal integrity of every single Modified Atmosphere Pack (MAP) that leaves a thermoformer PowerPak PLUS. It is the world's first non-invasive oxygen measurement system for MAP, and the only solution currently available for in-line quality control that inspects 100% of the packages produced.

GEA TiroLabel PLUS

Cross web labeling system for perfect integration into GEA thermoformers. Simple to operate and programme. Extremely high operating speed. Labels sophisticated packaging with millimeter accuracy. Fast and flexible conversion. Reliable results, even on uneven surfaces. Motor-driven positioning unit on top and bottom with spring-loaded pins enables non-pneumatic labeling.

GEA PowerGuide

GEA PowerGuide Converger family is a versatile transport solution for the out-feed of a thermoformer. It converges from 2-6 tracks to one and achieves a speed of up to 250 packages per minute. It is positioned after the cutting station of a thermoformer and its transport speed is synchronized with the packaging machine's speed.

GEA CombiPick

GEA CombiPick is a combined single pack pick-and-place and converger system for end-of-line applications on GEA PowerPak PLUS thermoformer configurations. It works with quality control systems that identify packs that do not meet specifications. In addition to a pick-and-place assembly that picks up just the good packs from the belt, it converges up to six lanes to a single lane outfeed.
