The Challenge

Gerber Champignons AG wanted to optimize their production process with a head filling mahcine at their Seftigen site. As part of Wauwiller Champignons – which already operates two GTL head filling machines- the quality was known, but this situation presented unique challenges.

Specific challenges:

  • Extreme space constraints: The existing filling hall was exceptionally narrow
  • Integration required: The head filling machine needed seamless communication with existing hoppers and winch system
  • New team: First GTL head filling machine at this location

The GTL Solution: Customization within Existing Infrastructure

GTL’s strength lies in adapting standard machines to specific situations. For Gerber, the head filling machine was fully customized to fit the narrow space without compromising functionality.

Technical adjustments:

  • Space-optimized design: Modifications to perfectly fit the narrow filling hall
  • System integration: Full communication with existing equipment (hoppers and winch)
  • Plug-and-play installation: Minimal disruption to existing processes
"Whether it’s a complete composting facility or a single specialized machine, at GTL every client receives the same dedicated approach and customized solutions. Project size doesn’t matter, quality and service remain the same."
Jack Lemmen
CEO

Installation and Start-Up

  • Day 1: Complete system test without compost, all functions checked
  • Day 2: First test with compost. First cell successfully filled that same morning
  • 2 GTL specialists: On-site guidance for optimal knowledge transfer

Result: A fully operational system within 48 hours, despite the complex adjustments and new environment.
