Zoned heating system for thermoformers
Optimize your thermoforming process with precision zoned heating, ensuring uniformity and reducing energy use by 30%, while supporting versatile packaging materials from mono-plastics to multilayer films.
Precisely Heats and Controls Thermoforming Packaging
The GEA PowerHeat is an advanced zoned heating system designed to enhance your thermoforming packaging operations. It features ultrathin heating plates with individually controllable zones to ensure precise temperature management across the packaging surface. The system is ideal for producing high-quality end-products such as vacuum-sealed deli meats, MAP-packaged fresh pasta, and mono-material yogurt containers. It operates efficiently in continuous, high-speed, automated settings, boosting productivity by up to 10% and reducing energy consumption by 30% due to its fast reaction time and minimal thermal mass. The GEA PowerHeat supports the use of recyclable mono-plastics and integrates seamlessly within thermoforming packaging systems for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. With precise control tolerances of just 1-2°C, it minimizes the risk of deformations and ensures consistent film quality, making it a critical asset for packaging companies looking to optimize operations and reduce environmental impact.
