Cheese portioning dosing and wrapping solution

Effortlessly streamline cheese portioning with high-speed dosing and wrapping that promises smooth operations while minimizing maintenance needs.

Doses and Wraps Cheese Portions Efficiently

The FF220 Series from IMA Group is a sophisticated dosing and wrapping solution tailored for the dairy industry. This series offers smooth, continuous operation with minimal maintenance, capable of handling fresh, cream, and processed cheese portions in various shapes such as triangular, square, and rectangular. With a production capacity of up to 240 portions per minute, the FF220 Series integrates seamlessly into high-speed production lines, offering flexible configurations to meet diverse production needs. Its advanced motorization reduces power waste by utilizing kinetic energy during braking, and optional vacuum pumps further enhance energy efficiency by decreasing compressed air consumption. Constructed with stainless steel coatings for ease of cleaning, the machine supports sustainable packaging materials and optimized foil cutting for material savings. The FF220 also features a removable dosing assembly and a quick-change foil cutting unit to minimize downtime, ensuring uninterrupted high-volume production.
