Overview

GEA ShingleLoader 600/ 700

The reproducible loading precision is a common feature of all members of the GEA ShingleLoader family. This means a wide variety of sliced portions can be fed to the thermoformer via the GEA ShingleLoader. In addition to the loading operation itself, the GEA ShingleLoader ensures continuous production on the part of the packaging machine, in most cases during the entire loading time of the slicer, by means of the integrated buffer conveyors. The consistent hygienic design and simple, quickly detachable belts enable a high degree of product safety through effective and economical wet cleaning.

Precise loading and high output

The GEA ShingleLoader is an efficient loading system to feed the portions fully automatically from the slicer to the thermoformer. The reproducible loading accuracy is a common feature of all GEA ShingleLoader versions. The integrated buffer conveyors, adapted to the thermoformer index length, enable a continuous operation of the thermoformer by compensating the entire reload time of the slicer. The number of buffer conveyors can be adapted to the required performance of considering maximum line length restrictions. The consistent hygienic design and fast and easy removable product belts enable a high degree of product safety through effective and economical cleaning procedure.

Add-ons

Add-ons
Lane diverter
Lane diverter

The lane diverter is part of the GEA ShingleLoader and diverts portions from left to right or right to left. This is needed if the packaging machine’s die set has more rows than the slicer delivers. The lane diverter makes it possible to divert from 1 to 2, 1 to 4, or 3 to 6 lanes. A pre-spreading conveyor combined with a lane diverter can be configured in order to reach the right distance between the portions for automatically loading into the packaging machine.

Formatting station
Formatting station

To overlap 2 following portions of the same log to 1 portion with spreading elements. In combination with a lane diverter, it is possible to distribute portions from 2 to 3 lanes.

DoubleLoading Belt

Additional conveyor below the loading belt, to create overlapped portions by moving the complete format setup backwards and forwards before the final loading process into the thermoformer. Optionally available for the GEA ShingleLoader 600 up to 600 mm index length.

Aligning rake
GEA aligning rake

The aligning rake is placed under the aligning conveyor. Pneumatically driven, it is used to align shaved or stacked portions on up to 5 lanes. This shortens portion for increased loading precision.

Correction display
Correction display

The correction display is a matrix display used to trace missing or supernumerary slices of a portion on the loading area of the packaging machine. It shows which portion needs to be completed manually and with how many slices.

Pre-diverger

Available only for the GEA ShingleLoader 600 in combination with the GEA DualSlicer II. Guiding system to move single lane portions after slicing to the center line, in order to avoid a portion turning when passing the following lane diverter.
