Vertical packaging machine: compact, fast, flexible


GEA has launched its new vertical SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip for pre-packaged food products for retail and food service. The new system combines fast, high-quality operation with maximized flexibility and uptime. Apart from producing premium quality D-ZIP bags, this easy-to-use machine can produce more than ten different bag styles for a wide variety of applications such as candy or nuts. It integrates a newly developed corner seal unit, designed to reduce complexity and improve quality, flexi-bility and serviceability.

The new SmartPacker brings vertical packaging right up to date to meet the needs of both processors and consumers today. Users can expect premium performance with an output of up to 100 D-Zip bags per minute as well as 98 % uptime and highly accurate operation from a machine that shall carry the smallest footprint of any other comparable machine. The CX400 D-Zip is easy to use and has a changeover time of under 45 min – without the use of special tools – and features front discharge.

The new corner seal unit simplifies set-up and improves overall quality. It introduces greater flexibility into the SmartPacker, as it is capable of varying in seal width and, depending on needs, can be configured for two or four seals. It also has a compact design and does not require specialist tooling when changing formats. GEA engineers have included a superior accessibility to areas where heavy wear can be expected, including sealing and folding to reduce maintenance time.
