A cross-web labeling system for perfect integration with GEA and non-GEA thermoformers. Operating and programming is simple. Extremely high operating speed. Fast and flexible conversion. GEA TiroLabel PLUS provides reliable results, even on uneven surfaces. A motor-driven positioning unit on top and bottom with spring-loaded pins enables non-pneumatic labeling of MAP, vacuum, and skin food packs with millimeter accuracy.
A 3-in-1 content inspection system to reliably detect incorrect weights and metal contaminations of the food packages after the form-fill-seal process. GEA EasyCheck has a product rejection system integrated, which sorts out metal-contaminated packages or those with incorrect weights and products identified also by other inspection systems such as GEA OxyCheck and LeakCheck.
GEA PowerGuide
GEA EasyGuide and the GEA PowerGuide converger family are versatile transport solutions for the out-feed of thermoforming packaging machines. They converge from 2-6 tracks to one and achieve a speed of up to 250 packages per minute. These machines are positioned after the cutting station of thermoforming packaging systems. Transport speed is synchronized with the packaging machine’s speed.
GEA CombiPick
Combined single pack, pick-and-place and converger system for end-of-line applications on GEA PowerPak thermoformer configurations for skin applications. GEA CombiPick has a pick-and-place assembly that picks up just the good packs from the belt and converges up to six lanes of MAP, vacuum, or skin packs to a single lane outfeed.
The reliable GEA PowerPak modular thermoforming packaging machine ensures fast, safe and high adaptable horizontal packaging of food products in vacuum and MAP packs of any kind in high-quality and with maximum flexibility.
GEA EasyCheck combines metal detection, weight control and automatic rejection of food packages in a single machine. This ensures food safety and speeds up the production of MAP, vacuum or skin packs.
GEA EasyGuide and the GEA PowerGuide lane converger family are versatile and flexible transport solutions for the outfeed of thermoforming packaging machines that match their speed. They converge packages from 2-6 tracks to a single or dual lane.
GEA CombiPick is a time and space-saving package lane converging system for form-fill-seal-machines with integrated automatic rejection of defective or empty packages.
