From raw bulk materials discharge, to filling and packaging finished product in the container of your choice — and every process in between — GEA can engineer, manufacture, and install the most appropriate equipment to suit your product handling requirements. GEA has long specialized in the field of filling and packaging applications, offering design, manufacture, installation, and start-up services throughout the world.

Recent innovations include the GEA SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip and GEA LeakCheck and OxyCheck.

The GEA SmartPacker D-Zip is a continuous motion vertical packaging machine that creates re-closeable stand-up pouches for retail and food service. It combines fast, high- quality operation with maximum flexibility and uptime. In addition to producing premium quality D-ZIP bags, this easy-to-use machine can produce more than 10 different bag styles for a wide variety of applications.

GEA LeakCheck and OxyCheck are inline quality-control systems that can be integrated into our thermoformers to verify the oxygen (O2) content of all MAP packages and identify leakages after the form-fill-seal process.

We also offer filling solutions for sensitive and non-sensitive beverages. Our GEA Visitron Filler ALL-IN-ONE is an ideal choice for small- and medium-sized beverage manufacturers wishing to carry out all necessary functions, on just one machine. Customers packaging sensitive beverages can rely on the variety of top-class sterilization technologies that are offered. As an example, the GEA ABF 2.0 combines an aseptic blow molding module with aseptic filler and capper modules and features dry hydrogen peroxide-based sterilization technology for preforms and caps.

Powder packaging is another GEA specialty. Our range of multi-wall bag/sack fillers is designed to pack powdered products at rates from less than 1 ton/h up to more than 12 ton/h with an accuracy better than 10 g (0.35 oz).
