GEA SmartPacker TwinTube C

The GEA SmartPacker TwinTube C achieves up to 500 pillow bags/min. It handles products smoothly, so it is suitable for fragile products.

The product-in-seal detection system that stops products from being stuck between the sealing jaws is useful for confectionery such as gummy candy. Being able to produce smaller ‘snacking packs’ at a high speed, the packer allows confectionery brands to respond to consumer demand for smaller snack sizes to consume calories more consciously.

The machine is also designed to perform reliably with long narrow bags, popular for party mixes. This is a size range with which most vertical form fill seal (VFFS) equipment has difficulties.

Compared to running a conventional line at up to 120 bags/min, a single packer can replace four machines. It has a lower initial investment, lower energy consumption and lower operator and maintenance requirements. In addition, the savings in factory floor space also leaves room for other equipment.
