Cartoning system for triangular cheese portions
Streamline your cheese packaging process with precision-oriented cartoning designed specifically for triangular portions, maximizing efficiency in your production line while ensuring secure and consistent product handling.

Packages Triangular Cheese Portions Efficiently
The SF1, SF100, and SF3 from IMA Group are high-speed automatic cartoning machines specifically designed for packaging triangular portions of processed cheese. These machines stand out by seamlessly integrating into existing food production lines, handling between 30 and 75 boxes per minute based on model choice. Their robust design ensures precise packaging, sorting triangular wedges into round boxes with up to four layers per bundle, optimizing throughput for dairy operations. The equipment is capable of using sustainable and recyclable packaging materials, incorporating energy-saving motorization and optional vacuum pumps to minimize compressed air consumption. It supports efficient setup and integration, featuring user-friendly automation controls for real-time monitoring and adjustment. With a focus on reducing power waste by reutilizing kinetic energy, these machines help lower operational costs. Durable construction and efficient operation make the SF series ideal for cheese manufacturers seeking reliable and sustainable packaging solutions.
