Container Handling Equipment
Handling systems for connecting single machines to create an ‘intelligent’ packaging system, the conveyors can handle a wide variety of packages and include many innovative features for improved performance and flexibility.
Specific installation requirements and peculiar package features determine on a case-by-case basis the technical requirements of each conveyor system needed to transfer each package in the best way.
GEA secondary packaging conveyors work any type of pack (shrink-wraps, carton boxes, crates, trays) customizing layout and production speed. Stainless steel is used as required by the hygienic design of each machine.
Key product features include: a wide range of dividers/combiners for packs; lateral guides adjustment, manual with hand wheels or fully automatic, with quick references; elevators/lowerators with rubber belts; and swinging systems for vertical exchange between lines.
GEA is a specialist in automation systems for high-speed conveying lines for containers. As such it believes in the continuous development of line automation, an information network that transforms a group of machines into a high efficiency plant. The automation systems feature speed modulation using inverters (installed in the remote power board or near-field) to reduce power consumption and noise. Remote field PLC devices are used to optimize installations that have a high concentration of inputs and outputs.
