Continuous leveler and sealer for powder packing

Enhance efficiency in powder packaging with a system that ensures precise bag leveling, secure sealing, and reliable closing for continuous, high-speed operations.

Automates Bag Leveling, Sealing, and Closing

The HS-1000 Leveler/Sealer/Closer from GEA is a cutting-edge solution for automating the bag filling process in industries such as food, dairy, and pharmaceuticals. This machine stands out with its ability to conduct automated leveling, sealing, and closing of bags filled with powdered products, ensuring a reliable and consistent seal without operator intervention. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the HS-1000 complies with global hygiene and safety standards, making it particularly suitable for applications involving milk powder, infant formula, protein powder, and more.

The continuous operation system efficiently grips and levels each bag, enhancing uniformity in sealing and operational throughput. Its PLC-controlled interface supports seamless integration with existing production lines, offering options for standalone or fully integrated deployment. Designed to adapt to different bag sizes, the HS-1000 accommodates a range of products with integral polyethylene inner liners, providing options for dust extraction and a bag mouth cleaning system for handling powders prone to adhering during filling.

The HS-1000 includes four automated activity stations, each contributing to a perfectly sealed product: automatic bag leveling, seal cleaning, heat sealing, and optionally, a fold-over closing system. This machine optimizes energy use while maintaining high-speed, continuous operation, ensuring efficiency and reduced labor costs. Supported by GEA’s engineering expertise, custom configurations and engineering support are available to adapt the machine to specific plant requirements, ensuring maximum productivity and minimal downtime.
