High speed cheese dosing and wrapping solution
Achieve precise dosing and efficient wrapping of cheese portions with versatile hot and cold filling capabilities, designed for seamless integration into high-speed dairy production lines.
Doses and Wraps Cheese at High Speed
The FF4 Series from IMA Group is a high-speed dosing and wrapping machine engineered for the precise packaging of various cheese products. Designed to tackle the challenges faced by dairy producers, it employs a flexible, modular setup capable of accommodating triangular, square, and rectangular portions. The machine seamlessly integrates hot and cold filling processes through a dedicated 4-lane syringe filling unit, ensuring accurate dosing up to 600 portions per minute. Equipped with automatic feedback control and optional weight-checking, it minimizes waste and maximizes throughput. Energy efficiency is prioritized with a motor system that recycles kinetic energy and reduces power waste, complemented by vacuum pump options that lower compressed air consumption. The FF4 Series is customizable for multi-flavor configurations and supports the use of sustainable packaging materials. Additionally, it offers easy access for maintenance and includes a CIP system for efficient cleaning, making it an ideal choice for high-speed, continuous dairy operations.
