Cartoning solutions for processed cheese products

Optimize your cheese production line with a cartoning solution that ensures precise packaging and efficient handling, perfect for reducing labor costs and minimizing packaging materials.

Wraps and Cartons Processed Cheese

The CS300F from IMA Group is an automatic cartoning machine engineered for dairy and food processing environments, particularly excelled in handling various forms of processed cheese. Its modular design supports different infeed arrangements, facilitating the seamless packaging of cheese squares, rectangles, and wedges. The CS300F operates by utilizing open flat blanks, which are folded and sealed using cold vinyl glue, reducing procurement costs associated with pre-glued cartons. Capable of processing up to 75 boxes per minute, it ensures high-speed, continuous operation essential for keeping up with large-scale production demands. Equipped with optimized size tooling and an integrated lubrication system, the machine minimizes production downtimes and enhances operational efficiency. Its adaptability to handle single or multiple layers, along with options for a new wrap-around, flip-top reclosable box style, offers customization for specific packaging needs.
