Hygienic powder filling system for low throughput
Ideal for compact production facilities, this filling system efficiently handles low-capacity powder bagging, ensuring minimal contamination and reduced operating costs with its automated, enclosed design.
Fills and Seals Powder Bags Efficiently
The HYGiPac R1 from GEA is a compact, limited intervention powder bag filler designed to meet the needs of food, pharmaceutical, and chemical powder processing facilities. This advanced system minimizes space requirements while ensuring product safety through fully automated bag handling and sealing processes. With a throughput capacity of up to 3 metric tonnes per hour, it expertly manages operations ranging from filling to bag sealing. Using bottom-up filling technology, the HYGiPac R1 reduces product contamination risk and eliminates the need for manual intervention by securely managing bags throughout the process. This PLC-controlled system allows for recipe-based adjustments, adapting quickly to varying product types and bag sizes. Constructed from durable stainless steel, it offers reliability and ease of maintenance, while supporting integration with existing line equipment, such as automatic bag depalletizing and palletizing systems. The HYGiPac R1 complies with industry standards for hygiene and efficiency, making it an ideal choice for manufacturers focused on maintaining high safety and quality standards.
