GEA SmartFil M1 powder packaging system

GEA has launched the SmartFil M1 system, which has been designed to deal with an assortment of powdered materials. With over 100 possible variants, the system can package a range of products, from dry and fine powders to course, granular material.

These powdered materials can be packed into open-mouth bags, boxes and drums of varying sizes and the closure types include heal sealing with glue reactivation, sewn-closures and impulse sealing. The system is capable of filling 120 bags/h or 3 t/h for products of a 25 kg size.

The system has been designed to encapsulate a range of possible products to package. For instance, it can consistently package foodstuffs into 25 kg packages thanks to the controlled auger metering system. It can fill packages with coffee and other freeze-dried products that are inherently fragile by using a vibratory feeding solution, which prevents product breakdown. The system can also be used by small-scale dairy plants to hygienically package goods.

Finally, the system has been certified for its hygiene standards and has been designed for easy cleaning, with components that have been optimally located for convenient maintenance.
