GEA Shoulders for SmartPackers: Handcrafted for unmatched quality and lifetime

With GEAs bag forming sets for SmartPackers, customers can lower their operational costs. High tech composites used for GEA Shoulders ensure lower wear rates and up to 10 times longer life as compared to stainless steel shoulders. In addition, the shoulders can easily be repaired in case of damage. The new standard forming set is delivered as a fiberglass-reinforced version with an insert.

This version is stronger than the conventional forming set and therefore ensures less wear, extra protection and longer operational life. An insert also makes it possible to produce both overlaps and tucked seams with one and the same shoulder. Finally, each forming set is equipped with a rigidised surface to ensure smooth running in a moist/wet environment. In short GEA Shoulders provide complete peace of mind with unique design, high tech composite materials, simpler maintenance, lower operational costs and increased reliability.
