Patented filling technology
Patented filling technology for GEA MaxiFormer
The MaxiFormer uses specially designed and patented software to communicate between the Handtmann VF range vacuum filler and the drum former. This step-filling process fills each cavity progressively and carefully, without damaging the structure of the meat or wearing the cavity. The result is better structure retention and less product wastage.
Worlds first 1000mm wide drum with air knock-out
1000mm wide drum
The GEA MaxiFormer is available in 600mm and 1000mm-wide versions. For customers needing the maximum throughput, the 1000mm wide option provides the ultimate in cost-efficient space utilization and belt loading. The unique GEA knock-out system ejects the formed products using dry air at high pressure to each row of cavities, not the whole drum. This system uses 40% less air and reduces energy costs.

Accessories for GEA MaxiFormer
In addition to the MaxiFormer, the complete system includes a vane pump, a GEA MaxiDrum, GEA MaxiCarriage, GEA MaxiStorage and GEA MaxiClean.
GEA MaxiDrum
The GEA MaxiDrum, fitted on the GEA MaxiFormer II, has a unique spoke drum design with a more rigid structure that prevents the drum from flexing and ensures consistent filling pressure across its entire width. This allows more accurate filling and achieves a standard weight deviation at least twice as accurate as ordinary systems for 2D and 3D formed products and minimizing product giveaway. Additional drums, with customized 3D or 2D cavities, are available to suit specific needs. “A new exciting development is the MaxiFormer DemoDrum. Created to provide a good solution for easier and faster development of new ideas and applications.
Fully automatic drum cleaning with GEA MaxiClean system
GEA MaxiClean provides intelligent, fast, efficient cleaning of the forming drum to minimize downtime, maximize productivity and allow fast product changeover. The GEA MaxiClean automatically monitors the temperature, flow and pressure of the fluid during cleaning, comparing it with data from a clean drum, running only until the drum is clean and ready for service. Using GEA MaxiClean reduces water consumption by 62% for enhanced sustainability.
Safe drum handling with GEA MaxiCarriage
The GEA MaxiCarriage enables the used drum to be simply and safely moved from the GEA MaxiFormer to the GEA MaxiClean for fast, efficient cleaning and secure storage. The GEA MaxiStorage can store up to four drums
