CALLIFREEZE® is a unique control technology developed for the GEA range of freezers for the food industry. It measures the level of frozenness inline, at the freezer exit, without direct contact with the food product. CALLIFREEZE® monitors the condition of products exiting the freezer, and then automatically calibrates the freezer parameters to ensure that the product is frozen according to requirements.

Efficiency, package quality and safety with better productivity and lower operating costs: that’s what users may expect from the GEA PowerPak PLUS thermoforming packaging machine. It features innovative equipment that improves the quality and tightness of any type of package. The robust construction ensures high availability at high volumes. 

Sustainable packaging? Say yes with GEA PowerHeat and PowerJet.
The PowerPak PLUS can be equipped with the innovative PowerJet, the new evacuation and gassing system developed by GEA and particularly suitable for use with paper-based and mono-materials. This solution avoids the use of side hole punches. The result? Extremely low and uniform residual oxygen content in any food package with very low operating costs. The GEA PowerHeat, with its ultrathin heating plate and individually controllable heating zones, allows to form packaging of consistent thickness, resulting in great quality. It boosts productivity by up to 10% and offers energy savings of up to 30%. The PowerHeat allows the use of recyclable mono-materials and the potential to reduce plastic without compromising on packaging quality and functionality.
