HL9200 BevMax Palletizer
The HL9200 BevMax features high-speed product infeed, advanced layer pattern creation, servo-controlled variable position turners and segmented layer stops for precise control at maximum speeds. Dual-path servo controlled layer pushing technology, high-speed stripper apron plates and a servo-controlled full-load hoist maximize cycle rates while maintaining accuracy and load integrity.
GEA
PowerPak 5000 Thermoformer
The system replaces former GEA thermoformer models in the midsize segment and is designed for processors seeking a balance between performance, operational simplicity and long-term cost control. The machine supports a broad packaging range, including MAP, vacuum, skin and steam applications. The machine is equipped with GEA SmartControl, the company’s control interface for operation and monitoring.

Mondini Trave Sinfonia Tray-Sealing Platform
The solution delivers a fully automated alternative to conventional tray-sealing methods. Sinfonia can double throughput compared to typical mechanical grind-line tray sealers, increasing output from roughly 120 packs per minute to as high as 200 packs per minute. Sinfonia's software-controlled magnetic-transport architecture moves trays on independent shuttles with micron-level accuracy. The design eliminates belts, pusher arms and other friction-based components that typically constrain sealing speed, especially in low-oxygen MAP applications.

FPC6 Flow Wrapper
The FPC6 processes a variety of product formats without major retooling and offers several sealing types – cold sealing, heat sealing and cut-seam welding for water-soluble films. An integrated preheating section also enables processing of sensitive materials such as paper or recyclable mono films, even in high-performance operation. The FPC6 was designed to make machine operation largely independent of the operators’ qualifications and experience level.

robag Quantum
The robag Quantum has been engineered for producers facing the growing challenge of more packs, more SKUs and more pressure on space, labor and margins, particularly for products such as potato chips, popcorn, tortilla chips and extruded snacks. The equipment is designed to increase capacity per tube — reaching up to 300 bags per minute, depending on bag, film and product type — while helping simplify the overall line. FE
