High performance buffer
GEA HorizontalBuffer
The GEA HorizontalBuffer has been designed to accumulate portions and to load them automatically onto a following processing system running either continuously or batching. It allows a compensation of the product re-loading time in the slicer.
High performance buffer
After portions arrive from a slicer, the portions arrive onto the vertical distributor which directs them towards the buffer level that is empty and they are accumulated on this level.
If no accumulation is possible (belts having a full or unlading status), a signal is given to cause a cutting stop of the slicer. At the out-feed end of the machine a second vertical distributor takes over the portions from the 3 levels to give them along to the loading conveyor which synchronizes its loading speed to the needs of the next system to be loaded upon. Incorrect weight portions are sorted out to an optional upper correction belt, e.g. for manual weight correction. The correction conveyor requires an additional flip-flop upstream of the HorizontalBuffer.

All pharmaceutical freeze-drying vials are the same! Aren't they?
Whether it’s a fad or the future, 100% vial traceability is becoming an increasingly important consideration in the pharmaceutical freeze drying industry. Keeping a close eye on developments is GEA. We’re investigating possible solutions and, what’s more, we have the experience, expertise and know-how to implement them.
Alcohol-free beer: They want it all – they want less
There was a time when the phrases ‘non-alcoholic beer’ and ‘tastes good’ were seldom used together in the same sentence, particularly by consumers. But low-proof and alcohol-free beers have come a long way – many of them now refreshing drinks in their own right – thanks in no small part to technology from GEA.
Innovating patient care with aseptic spray drying
At GEA, our commitment to engineering for a better world fuels our pursuit of innovative solutions that enhance patient care and safety. One of our most promising ventures in recent years is aseptic spray drying – a technology that promises to revolutionize pharmaceutical manufacturing.
