High-speed dosing and wrapping for butter and margarine

Achieve precision in butter and margarine packaging with a high-speed solution designed for rapid changeovers and exceptional control, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in every packet.

Doses and Wraps Butter and Margarine Efficiently

The Multipack 7000 from IMA Group is a high-speed dosing and wrapping machine tailored for the food and dairy industries, expertly handling products like butter, margarine, edible fats, and fresh cheese. This machine stands out with its ability to dose and wrap up to 200 packets per minute, thanks to its servo-driven main drive and individual servo-drives for the wrapping material feed.

Designed to integrate seamlessly into continuous, automated production lines, the Multipack 7000 ensures precision with its CIP cleanable dosing unit and a filling accuracy between ±0.2g to ±0.3g, depending on the size. Its flexibility allows for rapid size adjustments and complete changeovers in under 45 minutes, aided by optional features like electrical packet height adjustment and remote access control.

Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, the Multipack 7000 accommodates a variety of wrapping materials including aluminum laminated foil and PE foil. The PLC by Allen Bradley with a touch screen panel further enhances control and operation. Options for CIP valve systems, central lubrication, and date coding provide additional customization to meet specific production requirements.
