GEA Aquarius FlexFormer XHC
Are you ready to bring your lollipop production into the future?
Easy change overs
The FlexFormer XHC doesn’t just offer increased speed and flexibility – it’s also our most efficient, reliable lollipop former yet, keeping you running for longer. Change over times are limited to approximately just 1,5 hours thanks to the new easy change tools, and a turnable stick hopper facilitates easier access to sticks and smooth flows within 5-10 minutes.
Higher outputs – fewer cleaning cycles
The FlexFormer XHC’s polished forming set ensures reduced cleaning cycles, less water usage when running Clean In Place (CIP) and longer production runs per day, depending on your production circumstances. CIP substantially reduces downtime and labour costs, with only 20-30 minutes cleaning after each production run.
Efficient continuous operation
With the FlexFormer XHC’s automatic lubrication system, we ensure an efficient and continuous operation, with less wear and tear due to lubrication on the forming set flaps, and lubrication of the stamp shaft and press bridge via PLC control.
