GEA PowerHeat PRO is a revolutionary, energy-efficient matrix heating system for controlled, targeted, flexible heat distribution in the forming stations of the thermoforming packaging machine, where the areas of the heating plate are divided into equal sized areas in matrix form each with many regularly arranged, small heating pixels. PowerHeat PRO allows the running of minimal film thickness materials while maintaining the functionality of the packs. The technology provides excellent forming performance for all types of food packages and increases the package quality. This smart solution meets the most important sustainability requirements, particularly through its use of very thin films and mono-materials. GEA PowerHeat PRO provides the following key benefits:
The opportunity to create packages with complex contours
Minimizes the amount of packaging material necessary
Operates with mono-materials (e.g. Mono PP, Mono PET)
Optimal process control and temperature accuracy
Flexible heat distribution
Minimized film thickness while retaining package functionalities
Optimized and fast process and temperature control
Excellent forming performance
Increases package quality
Fast heating to operating temperature
Saves energy (typical reduction of 20 – 25%)
Minimal impact on environment
