Servo gearboxes increase efficiency and dynamics in packaging machines
JASA uses compact hypoid and planetary gearboxes from WITTENSTEIN in its vertical packaging systems, significantly improving flexibility, hygiene, process reliability and overall machine performance.
Servo gearboxes for precise vertical packaging processes
The Dutch company JASA Packaging Solutions is a leading supplier of innovative, hygienic and flexible vertical packaging machines for the food industry. JASA relies on servo gearboxes from WITTENSTEIN in its vertical packaging machines, in particular hypoid and planetary gearboxes from the WITTENSTEIN alpha Advanced Line and Value Line, which enable precise movements, high cycle rates and reliable machine performance.
Sustainable packaging solutions made of paper
Consumers increasingly want plastic-free packaging. Paper is an environmentally friendly alternative for this purpose—and JASA develops vertical packaging machines that can process this material efficiently. The machines have been specially adapted to the properties of the packaging material. Instead of using a sealable coating, as many other manufacturers do, JASA relies on innovative technology that does not require any coating at all. This enables high packaging speeds and at the same time improves the recyclability of the packaging.
JASA is also breaking new ground in the packaging of fruit and vegetables: the cardboard sleeves developed are entirely made of recyclable cardboard and reduce the use of film material to a minimum – only where plastic continues to be useful. JASA thus offers a sustainable, practical alternative to conventional plastic packaging.
Cardboard represents an excellent, eco-friendly alternative for non-convenience products. JASA builds machines for processing this material.
Whether raw materials or finished products, JASA offers the optimal solution for every type of packaging. The spectrum ranges from paper bags for unprocessed vegetables such as potatoes, onions, or garlic to hermetically sealed packaging for cut products such as lettuce or vegetables. For particularly sensitive goods, plastic-based solutions are also used to increase shelf life and thus reduce food loss. This means that these packaging solutions also make an important contribution to resource conservation and sustainability.

Servo gearboxes
JASA mainly uses hypoid and planetary gearboxes from the alpha Advanced Line and alpha Value Line product lines.
Reliable drive technology for packaging systems worldwide
JASA and WITTENSTEIN have been working together successfully for over ten years. The first contact was made at a trade show in Germany and led to a request for quotation via the sales office in Belgium. The decisive factors in choosing WITTENSTEIN servo gearboxes were their excellent price-performance ratio and a gear design with an optimized output interface that allows direct assembly of a toothed belt pulley without an additional bearing – an advantage over other suppliers.
Since then, JASA has relied on WITTENSTEIN's exceptionally reliable servo gearboxes. There have been virtually no failures or replacements. The packaging machines are used worldwide by contract packers and wholesalers of potatoes, vegetables, and fruit, particularly in Europe, North America, Australia, Russia, and South Africa. Any questions or technical challenges are usually resolved directly from the company's headquarters in Alkmaar.
