Long cut pasta packaging solution

Optimize your pasta production line with seamless, high-speed packaging tailored for long cut shapes, ensuring precise weighing, efficient sealing, and reduced maintenance downtime.

Packages and Seals Long Cut Pasta Efficiently

The GEA H-Packer SI from GEA is an intermittent motion packaging machine engineered for the demanding needs of pasta, snacks, and breakfast cereal manufacturers. What sets this equipment apart is its ability to efficiently package long cut pasta such as spaghetti and fettuccine in pillow-type bags, featuring a precise weighing and sealing process. Using a single doser with a weighing unit and a volumetric finishing system, it ensures accurate final weights, while the adjustable feeding channel accommodates various pasta formats. This machine operates with a double sealing system using hot bar and heat impulse based on film type, reducing rejected packs. Its horizontal packaging capability, managed via a PLC system, integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. With a speed of up to 60 bags per minute for 500g spaghetti, it maximizes throughput without compromising quality. The robust design features high-quality materials that reduce wear and maintenance time, supported by an intuitive interface for parameter control and self-diagnostics. Whether for polyethylene or laminated films, the GEA H-Packer SI offers reliable performance, meeting the rigorous standards of the food industry.
