Thermoforming packaging for skin applications
Enhance your packaging line’s versatility with a solution designed for high-quality skin packs, ensuring pristine product presentation while accommodating various shapes and sizes. Eliminate wrinkles and oxidation risks, providing your customers with premium, fresh-appearing products every time.
The GEA PowerPak SKIN.50 thermoforming packaging machine is engineered to deliver superior skin packaging for food producers, especially those dealing with high-protrusion products. This machine uses advanced thermoforming techniques to wrap products seamlessly like a second skin, minimizing wrinkles and preserving product quality. It accommodates a wide range of applications, from steak cuts and salmon fillets to plant-based products and premium sliced cheeses. With a choice between the PowerPak SKIN.50_460 and PowerPak SKIN.50_560 models, the equipment offers flexibility in film width and is capable of processing several packaging types, including vacuum and MAP. Designed for continuous, high-speed, automatic operation, it can be integrated into existing production lines with ease, featuring an array of modular add-ons like labeling and inspection systems. Additionally, its PLC-controlled system ensures optimal operation and can reduce energy consumption with its efficient design. Constructed from durable materials suitable for food safety, the machine ensures compliance with industry standards, while offering easy cleaning and maintenance to minimize downtime.
