Powerpak SKIN.50 thermoforming packaging technology

GEA’s Powerpak SKIN.50 thermoforming packaging technology provides processors with high-capacity packing of products of up to 100 mm high that protrude up to 50 mm above the level of the packing tray.

Designed for processors of sliced products, meat cuts, sausages, fish, hard cheese and high-end products such as quality seafood, it can also perform vacuum and MAP packaging on the same machine.

The machine is designed with an index length up to 600 mm, up to eight tracks and four rows of product. It also features top film guiding and a preheating station. This avoids tapering of the film and makes the top film easier to form to prevent wrinkles.

The SKIN packaging wraps products like a second skin, even products with sharp edges and irregular shapes. It is designed to eliminate air, preventing oxidation and maintaining the product’s original colour and flavour; provide good shelf life; keep juices and marinades within the package; provide a clear view of the entire product; and minimise packaging waste by using thin films and recyclable paperboard webs.
