Continuous motion packaging for short-cut pasta
Optimize your packing line with a high-speed solution designed for efficiently packaging short-cut pasta and dry granular foods, ensuring superior sealing quality and flexibility in bag types for maximum productivity.
Packs and Seals Dry Granular Food Products
The GEA V-Packer LM Series is engineered by GEA for food manufacturers who demand high-speed and precise packaging of dry granular products. Utilizing a continuous motion system, it efficiently packs and seals various bag formats, including pillow and flat bottom styles. The double motion sealing jaw combines horizontal and vertical movements in a single action, enhancing both speed and sealing quality. The V-Packer LM handles up to 120 bags per minute for pillow bags and features advanced motion control integrated in the PLC, driven by independent brushless motors for consistent operation. Suitable for applications involving short-cut pasta, cereals, and snacks, this machine supports film widths up to 800 mm and adapts to different bag sizes, from 500 g to 5 kg. With options for hot air blast, rotating band, or hot bar seam sealing, the equipment integrates seamlessly into diverse production lines, offering flexibility, efficiency, and maintained product quality.
