Mid-size Allrounder
GEA MegaSlicer XXL (1200 / 1850)
High efficiency
The GEA MegaSlicer is one of the most versatile and capable slicing machines on the market today for sausage, raw or cooked ham, bacon and cheese. The machine setup allows only automatic product loading. Due to the idle cut rotor the shear edge distance will be automatically adjusted. The patented idle cut rotor virtually eliminates sliver slices while helping to achieve a high level of ‘on-weight’ portions, with consistent slice thickness, even with soft products such as boiled sausage.
Main applications
The GEA MegaSlicer XXL is designed for regular-shaped products such as calibrated sausage, salami, cooked ham, raw ham and cheese. Different portion forms possible: shingle, stack, zig-zag stack, shaved, contour shingle, folded, chunks and interleaved (depends on application).

Slicer is easy to operate and maintain
• Visualisation on 15" touch panel
• Clean and simple machine concept
• Very good machine access from both sides for application change and cleaning
• Fast and easy changeover of GEA slicer blade and shear edge
Specifications
SpecificationsGEA Involute Blade Technology
GEA’s new involute blade technology, ensure very high portion quality with consistent slice thickness, very low ‘give-away’, a high level of ‘on-weight’ portions and very few sliver slices even with soft products such as boiled sausage
Idle Cut Technology
A blade movement without slicing the product. Conventional technology is to stop and retract the product. For high slicing speeds and involute blades, this technology is no longer working without the undesired effect of sliver slices. The patented idle cut rotor moves away the blade from the product, which helps to avoid sliver slices almost completely and to achieve very consistent slice thickness within a portion.

Add-ons
Options GEA MegaSlicer XXLWeighing system GEA Check 4000
The GEA Check 4000 is a high precision weighing system, detecting single weights of sliced portions while moving these over the check weigher. The single portion weights are analyzed in the slicer for weight regulation. Thus, the slicer is able to respond to varying product cross sections and optimize the deviation in average weights over a long period of production time. All side panels can be removed swiftly without tools for cleaning and maintenance. The weighing conveyors can be swiveled upwards for easy removal of belts for cleaning issues. The GEA Check 4000 is available from 1- up to 4-lane configuration. The weighing system is calibrated for loads between 20 and 5,000 g.
Scanning system GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200
The GEA OptiScanner 600 / 1200 is a pre-scanner system that makes it possible to slice natural products like dry cured ham and cheese with lowest give-away, maximum yield and on-weight portions. The scanner literally looks into the product and determines the density distribution over the length of the product by means of x-ray technology. In this process, the device detects irregular outer contours as well as holes, under slices and irregular distribution of fat and meat. Based on the density distribution, the intelligent software calculates the ideal slice thickness and/or number of slices for each portion prior to slicing.
GEA Interleaver
The GEA Interleaver allows interleaving film or paper in-between slices of several applications. Either cheese or expensive products can be interleaved for a nice appearance in the package. High production reliability and efficiency are guaranteed. Easy access to interleaver paper without machine/ rotor stop is possible at any time,as well as quick fixation of film/ paper jams.
GEA Folding Device
For folding portions, GEA has a folding device, which is located in the slicing area and adjustable in three directions. The slice falls onto the device and by use of rollers and the kinetic energy of the slide it is folded and positioned onto the portioning conveyor. This option is available for all GEA slicer types.
GEA Cross-Shingle/ XY-conveyor
Different, multi-dimensional product forms can be formed with the help of the cross-shingle/ XY-conveyor as a specific form of the portioning conveyor. By lateral movements of the portioning area, various portion patterns, such as overlapping cross-shingles, can be produced with the cross-shingle conveyor. Circles, overlapping cross-singles and meanders are portion shapes that can be easily produced with the XY-conveyor moving sideways, forwards and backwards.

Shifts in food packaging: 4 trends
Thermoforming has long played a central role in food packaging. Now it is facing a major shift. As regulations tighten, materials evolve and costs rise, form fill seal lines must do more than run reliably – they now shape how food stays fresh, affordable and recyclable. Take a look at the key thermoforming trends informing the food packaging and delivery landscape.
