global GEA Group, the
business division GEA Food
Processing & Packaging to-day
plays a leading role both
nationally and internationally,
particularly in the food pack-aging
sector.
The portfolio from GEA in-cludes
a wide spectrum of
packaging machines of all
performance classes for the
packaging of foods such as
meat, cheese, sausage, fish,
seafood, sweets and confec-tioneries,
but also medicine
and pharmaceutical products
and industrial and consumer
solutions of the highest qua-

from an economic standpoint.”
Developments etc.
A number of factors play a
role in determining packaging
quality. GEA thermoformers
are divided into a number of
different functional modules:
film infeed, preheating, form-ing,
filling, sealing, printing
and labelling as well as cutting
and punching. Outfeed units
and various lane convergers
complete the program. “We
realize the needs of the market
and are constantly working to
develop technologies that will
simplify the lives of our cus-tomers,”
Volker Sassmanns-
hausen comments.
Over the last decades, GEA
has launched a series of inno-vations
that increase produc-tivity
and flexibility, ensure
machine availability and guar-antee
pack safety. A unique
selling point of almost all
thermoformers is their low-wear
membrane sealing sys-tem.
It offers the highest level
of seal integrity and guaran-tees
maximum sealing force,
but at the same time excellent
peel behavior.
The GEA „air cushion“
Pressure builds up via a kind of
air cushion. This is a flat plate
made of silicone rubber that is
integrated into a metal frame
of the sealing dieset. When this
is filled with air, the silicone
rubber expands like a balloon,
which in turn puts pressure on
the sealing dieset. This is then
pressed onto the packaging.
A consistently applied seal
imprint makes for a good over-all
product image. Further-more,
it prevents a gradual
loss in pressure, which would
diminish the quality of the
seal. This increases the safety
of the packaging. The silicone
plates themselves are robust
and exchanging them is less
expensive than in other sys-tems,
which translates into
lower costs for replacement
parts. Furthermore, much less
maintenance and storage is
required. www.gea.com

of the machines allows them
to be tailored to their intend-ed
applications, ensuring that
they fully meet the needs of
food manufacturers in terms of
product presentation, shelf life
and freshness.
All production processes at
GEA in Biedenkopf are cer-tified
to DIN ISO 9001 and
18001. The packaging systems
are manufactured exclusively
at the Biedenkopf site. With its
own tool manufacturing and
machining centers of all siz-es,
the company can maintain
an extensive vertical range of
manufacture. Custom-made
parts can quickly be made.
“From design to assembly,
everything happens right here

and have always done so. No
information is lost along the
way,” the product manager
