Flexible filling and sealing system for pre-formed cups

Fills and Seals Pre-Formed Cups

The EFS-L from IMA Group is a highly adaptable indexing platform designed for processing pre-formed cups in food and dairy packaging lines. This modular, chainless system allows seamless filling and sealing of both conical and parallel-sided cups, providing precision index positioning critical for consistent packaging results. It integrates flexible operations with servo-controlled motions and stainless steel construction, ensuring robust performance and easy maintenance. Tailored for a wide range of liquid to semi-solid applications, such as yoghurt, cheese, desserts, and sauces, it accommodates a throughput of up to 38,400 cups per hour.

Achieving either clean or ultra-clean hygiene levels, the EFS-L employs EHEDG-compliant design elements along with advanced hygiene options like UVC radiation, pulse light, and H2O2 sterilization. This enhances both safety and product preservation. With customizable filling configurations—including multifill possibilities—and efficient heat sealing, it reduces product loss and maximizes uptime.

Complementing existing production lines, the EFS-L’s quick-release, tool-free format change capabilities allow rapid adaptation to different product requirements, minimizing downtime and increasing operational efficiency. Its chainless drive system eliminates chain stretch, reducing maintenance needs and improving long-term performance stability.
