GEA SmartPacker CX250 LowDrop

Vertical form fill and seal solutions from GEA have been setting standards for operationalreliability since 1953. They are reliable, durable and consistently deliver uptime in excess of>98%. Due to the uninterrrupted film transport during sealing and trimming, the continuousmotion GEA SmartPackers (CX) are faster than the intermittent models.

engineering for a better world GEA Mechanical Equipment

Working principleThe principle: - Products enter the GEA SmartPacker through the forming tube - The shoulder of the forming tube shapes the flat filminto a round or rectangular film tube - Rollers guide the film to the forming area - A vertical sealing bar seal the edges of the film tubetogether - Vacuum transport belt pull the film through the forming area - Cross sealing jaws create top and bottom seals in the bag

Working principle

• >98% technical availability

• Low maintenance costs

• Extended warranty (standard)

• Free 24/7 help desk

PerformanceMaximum speed (bags/min)*, up to 250. *Depending on product, film and dosing equipment

Performance

• Up to 250 bags per minute

Output qualityOverall, the SmartPacker's continuous film transport system ensures optimal tracking for high-speed operation. Even more delicatefilm materials can be transported with ease.

Output quality

• Deliver twice the output of a similar sized verticalpackaging in the same floor space

• The distance from weigher to jaws is significantlyreduced

• Fewer unattractive damaged products in the bag

• Delicate film materials can be transported with ease

FlexibilityThe drop of the GEA SmartPacker CX250 LowDrop has been reduced, so that even with a high-speed 18-head weigher, the totalmachine layout is relatively low.

Flexibility

• Maximum bag length of 450 mm

• Can produce bags from 50 to 250 mm wide

• Possible to fill larger 2500 gram bags
