Reinforced sealing for more flexibility The new SmartPacker features a new jaw closing mechanism, optimized heating unit and a vertical rota- tional seal unit, promoting robust packing performance and excellent tightness of the pack seals. The jaw closing mechanism offers more than triple sealing force as the previous one and can apply 6000N. This gives the op- portunity to use thicker films or films with more diverse characteristics in terms of sealing requirements. Due to the more stable suspension of the longitudinal seam unit and the reproducible and precise positioning by spindle and ruler, shorter changeover times are possi- ble when switching formats or foils. “With this develop- ment producers will be able to work with more challeng- ing films thus able to give retailers and consumers what they are looking for in terms of bag quality with even wider range of film materials.” states van de Mortel. Easy labeling, operation and maintenance The new GEA TwinTube is optionally equipped with a new, fully integrated GEA TiroLabel unit, which makes the machine even more compact on the factory floor. The dedicated labeling unit delivers a speed of up to 180 labels per minute at a width of 150 mm and achieves millimeter precision during labeling. The label roll has a quick-release operation, which means it can be changed in seconds with minimal downtime. Comfortable to operate and maintain The machine features an innovative open design with double-hinged doors for easy access and see-through panels providing maximum visibility of the sealing area. Full access and easy maintenance are made possible via the machine’s hinged front-plate – to which the sealing arms and vertical seal are attached – and which can be fully opened. This ensures all items requiring mainte- nance can be easily reached.
