Reliability you can count on
Dedicated design for high-speed packing
High efficiency with a small footprint
The GEA SmartPacker features an automatic detection system that senses the presence of product between the sealing jaws. When this occurs, the machine automatically creates a double bag to avoid contamination or damage of the cross-seal jaws and knife, resulting in less downtime and waste. In fact, only one double bag is lost during the continuous production cycle.
With automatic web tracking the direction of the film will be adjusted automatically when the film deviates from its path, due to - for example - variances in the film roll. Thereby it eliminates all manual adjustment. Ultimately this safeguards the quality of the resulting bags while saving on downtime.
The GEA forming set with insert is reinforced with fiberglass to provide extra protection and ensure a longer operational life, resulting in less wear and tear. The use of an insert allows for production of overlaps and tucked seams with the same shoulder. Additionally, each set has a rigid surface to ensure smooth running in moist or wet environments. The forming set can be ordered with your SmartPacker or as additional tooling, depending on your bag type demands.
