GEA has introduced a new thermoforming packaging machine designed for small and medium-sized companies in the food sector.

The new machine, PowerPak 1000 thermoformer, is designed for the packaging of meat, meat substitutes, poultry or cheese. It has been specially developed as an entry-level machine for the thermoforming segment and offers advanced functions previously reserved for machines in the higher performance range.

The PowerPak 1000 can produce vacuum, modified atmosphere packaging or skin packs to meet a variety of product and packaging requirements. This enables customers to quickly adapt the machine to changing consumer needs.

Stefan Runkel, product manager of thermoforming at GEA Food Application Solutions, said: “We are delighted to be able to introduce the PowerPak 1000 to a wider audience. With this machine, we can now help smaller companies improve the efficiency of their packaging processes and increase their output, offering them our many years of expertise and flexible service.”

The new solution offers flexibility in pack size or reduced plastic consumption, beneficial for companies looking to move away from traditional methods such as vacuum chamber machines or traysealers to increase capacity and flexibility.

The new packaging machine will be demonstrated at Fachpack in Nuremberg, Germany, from 24-26 September.
