Cartons and Packs Dairy Cheese Efficiently
The A452F Cartoning Machine from IMA Group is engineered to meet the demanding needs of dairy producers and food packaging companies. This robust machine specializes in forming and packing cartons for a variety of cheese formats, including processed, fresh, and cream cheese. Utilizing flat blank cartons, the A452F forms them around products during loading with a cost-saving wrap-around system, ensuring damage-proof handling with its U-shaped vertical indexing turret. Ideal for high-speed, continuous operations, it can accommodate up to 80 boxes per minute with adjustable configurations to handle different product sizes. Sustainable features include motorization designed to minimize power waste and optional vacuum pumps that reduce compressed air consumption. Made to integrate seamlessly into existing lines, the machine offers flexibility and reliability for optimizing packaging efficiency in cheese production.
