GEA launches the latest version of its Skin thermoforming packaging technology: PowerPak Skin.50. This provides processors of sliced products, meat cuts, sausages, fish, hard cheese, and high-end products such as top-quality seafood, with high-capacity packing of products of up to 100mm high that protrude up to 50mm above the level of the packing tray.
The PowerPak Skin.50 can also perform vacuum and MAP packaging on the same machine.
This thermoforming packaging machine brings together the highest production capacity and excellent packing quality with the minimum of wrinkles in the finished package. GEA has achieved high capacity through innovative engineering that gives an index length up to 600mm, up to eight tracks, and four product rows.
Quality enhancements have been achieved by using a new top film guiding and preheating station. This avoids tapering of the film, makes the top film easier to form, prevents wrinkles, improves the package’s overall appearance, and ensures the correct alignment during the sealing process.
The modular design of the GEA PowerPak.50 Skin thermoforming packaging system allows a choice of feeding, labeling, and end of the line equipment to match perfectly any food producer’s demands. The system can also be adapted to provide vacuum and MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging), adding to its ‘all round’ performance and flexibility.
Why Skin thermoforming?
Skin packaging is becoming increasingly popular as the packaging of choice for many fresh and premium-grade foods. The versatile process wraps all products perfectly on a second skin, even with sharp edges and irregular shapes. It eliminates air, preventing oxidation and maintaining the product’s original color and flavor; gives excellent shelf life; keeps juices and marinades within the package; provides a clear view of the entire product; minimizes packaging waste by using thin films and recyclable paperboard webs; and provides an excellent price/performance ratio.
IndiFoodBev — authentic, impactful and influential

Eliminating the wastage on the farmside can help to deliver more protein to a higher number of the population apart from generating sizable exports. The savings in soil, seeds, water, fertilizer, energy and ultimately food and nutrition could be the most immense contribution that country is poised to make to the moderation of climate change.
