GEA H-Packer SO Plus pasta packaging system

GEA has re-engineered the H-Packer SO Plus for long-cut pasta packaging by integrating a faster technologically advanced system, comprising a double dosing unit and a continuous motion packaging machine. The system is designed to enable pasta manufacturers to increase product flow, minimise product loss, simplify line control, and ensure smooth filling in the packaging process.

The modified version is equipped with a second weighing hopper and artificial intelligence. A new electronic architecture based on the Siemens PLC provides centralised system control and a customisable operator interface.

The LC-Doser DDW dosing unit of the system has been redesigned to optimise product flow to the horizontal packaging machines for flat and rough shapes and to reduce product breakages.

The system features LED lighting for quick visibility of possible malfunctions in the process and a protective device equipped with coded sensors to achieve a high safety standard. Moreover, thanks to a motorised reel holder, the machine can work not only with conventional plastic films but also with paper films.

The machine is completed by a renewed patented stripper-gripper system.
