GALA flowpack packaging machine

The GALA packaging machine is an electronic machine equipped with 4 axes servo-controlled by intelligent drivers. It’s capable of packaging a wide range of both food and technical products, and is ideal for packaging crackers, biscuits, wafers, chocolate bars, cereal bars, snacks, bread, pizza, trays, gadgets, stickers, etc. The Gala model is a technologically advanced Flowpack machine with rotary sealers. It's reliable, easy to use and to maintain, which makes it an excellent ally for medium/high production volumes. It comes equipped with a state of the art PLC with temperature control, integrated diagnostics, a memory record for different formats, and a multifunction and multilingual touch screen display. The structure, entirely built in stainless steel, allows this machine to be easily used in damp environments; the electronics are located inside the machine’s frame, where they can be easily accessed and are protected against humidity and infiltrations. Various accessories can be added to the basic machine model. The machine is manufactured in compliance with the current CE standards and the regulations for use in food handling environments.
