GEA unveils its new vertical SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip

GEA will launch in November its new vertical SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip for pre-packaged food products for retail and food service. It combines fast, high-quality operation with maximum flexibility and uptime.

Apart from producing premium quality D-ZIP bags, this easy-to-use machine can produce more than 10 different bag styles for a wide variety of applications such as candy, nuts, frozen fruits and grated cheese. The new machine integrates a newly developed corner seal unit, designed to reduce complexity and improve quality, flexibility and serviceability, thereby meeting the demands of today’s processors.

It combines the popular high-quality pouches made on conventional horizontal machines with the advantages of a SmartPacker. Users can expect premium performance with an output of up to 100 D-Zip bags/minute; 98% uptime and highly accurate operation from a machine that carries the smallest footprint of any other comparable machine in the industry. The SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip is easy to use; creates all existing bag styles; has a changeover time of under 45 minutes – without the use of special tools – and features front discharge.

The premium quality D-Zip bag leaves nothing to be desired with smooth and sharp cross seals, an elegant and slim design, wrinkle-free seals with high density and air/gas-tight sealing. Finally, the GEA SmartPacker CX400 D-Zip design reduces the amount of plastic required for the zipper by approximately 15% by eliminating the zipper-material in the cross seal. Additional plastic waste is avoided given no punching is required in making the zipper.
