Continuous motion packaging for short-cut pasta
Packaging operations for short-cut pasta and dry granular food often require high-speed solutions to meet production demands. Ensuring both efficiency and quality in the packaging process is crucial to minimize downtime and maximize output.

High-speed packaging with flexible bagging options
The GEA V-Packer LM by GEA is designed to handle high-speed packaging of short-cut pasta and dry granular food. Equipped with a double motion sealing jaw that combines both horizontal and vertical movements, it ensures efficient sealing in a single action. The vertical sealing options include hot air blast, rotating band heat sealer, or hot bar seam sealer, offering versatility based on the packaging needs. The machine’s electrical control is managed through motion control integrated in the PLC, with movements driven by independent brushless motors, making it highly reliable. This system can handle a max film width of 600 mm, offering flexibility in bag types, including pillow and flat bottom bags. It achieves packaging speeds up to 120 bags per minute for pillow bags and 100 bags per minute for flat bottom bags.
