Filling and sealing solution for pre-formed cups
Optimize your liquid and solid product filling with a continuous-motion system designed for high-speed, hygienic operations. Enhance flexibility with multi-layer presentations and simultaneous format handling, ensuring precision and minimal product loss for a wide range of dairy and food products.
Fills and Seals Multi-Layer Food Products
The DOGATHERM COMBISEPTIC from IMA Group specializes in filling and sealing a variety of dairy and food products using a continuous-motion approach. Its modular design supports flexible configurations, accommodating multiple formats and hygiene levels, from ‘clean’ to ‘ultra-clean,’ which are critical for sensitive products like yoghurts and desserts. Capable of handling liquid to pasty products with or without particulates, it manages volumes from 25 to 550 ml and reaches outputs of 9,000 to 18,000 cups per hour.
This machine excels in integrating smoothly into existing lines, handling everything from pre-formed cup dispensing to the application of pre-cut lids. The advanced control system ensures precise dosing, which minimizes product waste and optimizes productivity. With options for varying lid materials, hygiene configurations, and simultaneous multi-format processing, it is adept for industries including dairy, beverage, and confectionery. Built with CIP (Clean-In-Place) systems for efficient maintenance and minimal downtime, it supports high-speed, continuous operations with unyielding reliability and precision.
