Advanced technology
The GEA MaxiFormer II combines patented step-filling technology for gentle, accurate forming with the world’s first 1000 mm-wide drum and targeted air knock-out system for maximum output and efficiency.
Patented filling technology
The MaxiFormer uses specially designed and patented software to communicate between the Handtmann VF range vacuum filler and the drum former. This step-filling process fills each cavity progressively and carefully, without damaging the structure of the meat or wearing the cavity. The result is better structure retention and less product wastage.
Worlds first 1000mm wide drum with air knock-out
The GEA MaxiFormer is available in 600mm and 1000mm-wide versions. For customers needing the maximum throughput, the 1000mm wide option provides the ultimate in cost-efficient space utilization and belt loading. The unique GEA knock-out system ejects the formed products using dry air at high pressure to each row of cavities, not the whole drum.
Accessories for GEA MaxiFormer
In addition to the MaxiFormer, the complete system includes a vane pump, a GEA MaxiDrum, GEA MaxiCarriage, GEA MaxiStorage and GEA MaxiClean.
GEA MaxiDrum
The GEA MaxiDrum, used on the GEA MaxiFormer II, features a rigid spoke design that ensures consistent filling pressure and twice the weight accuracy of standard systems for 2D and 3D products. Custom drums with 2D or 3D cavities are available. The new MaxiFormer DemoDrum speeds up and simplifies product development.
GEA MaxiClean
GEA MaxiClean offers fully automatic, intelligent drum cleaning to reduce downtime and speed up product changeover. It monitors key parameters and stops when the drum is clean, cutting water use by 80% for greater sustainability.
GEA MaxiCarriage
The GEA MaxiCarriage enables the used drum to be simply and safely moved from the GEA MaxiFormer to the GEA MaxiClean for fast, efficient cleaning and secure storage. The GEA MaxiStorage can store up to four drums
