Vertical packaging system for fragile food products
Packaging fragile food items like pasta nests and bakery products poses unique challenges. These products are prone to breakage and dust during the packaging process, requiring a solution that minimizes damage while ensuring efficient packaging.
Handles fragile products with adjustable inclination
The GEA V-Packer IM-IV is a vertical packaging system designed to handle fragile products like pasta nests, jumbo pasta shells, and bakery items. Its unique feature is the adjustable inclination of the sealing core and conveyor belts, allowing products to slide smoothly through the various packaging stages, reducing breakage and dust. The system supports multiple packaging types such as pillow, pillow with gussets, square bottom, and 4-seal square bottom. To cater to the industry’s move towards sustainable packaging, the V-Packer IM-IV is equipped with dedicated sealing jaws that can handle both paper-based and laminated plastic films. The combination of GEA’s Multihead Weigher H10 or H14-L with the packaging machine ensures precision weighing and high-speed performance, offering up to 80 bags per minute for medium-density products like Tubetti pasta.
