Butter portion dosing and wrapping system

Efficiently manage butter portion packaging with a compact system designed for precise dosing and versatility in packaging styles, ensuring reduced energy consumption and quick changeovers for varying production demands.

Doses and Wraps Butter Portions Efficiently

The FB Series from IMA Corazza is a state-of-the-art dosing and wrapping machine specifically engineered for butter and dairy products. What sets this equipment apart is its independent, servo-driven dosing system, ensuring high precision in portion control. Featuring a compact footprint, it’s designed for varied production speeds, handling up to 800 portions per minute with the FB8 model and 280 portions per minute with the FB220. The FB Series caters to different operational needs, offering both high-speed and fully mechanical options to suit varying production demands of dairy producers and butter manufacturers.

This versatile machine supports recyclable packaging materials and incorporates an energy-efficient motorization system, where kinetic energy from braking is shared among modules. For seamless integration, the FB Series boasts a user-friendly HMI and allows swift changeovers for different portion sizes. Key applications include dosing and wrapping processes to produce square and rectangular butter packs, as well as dairy spread portions. Each variant is constructed to fit seamlessly into a processing line, facilitating downstream cartoning and palletizing operations. With optional features like a weight-checker providing electronic feedback to dosing pistons, the FB Series ensures optimal productivity, precise dosing accuracy, and reduced energy consumption.
