High-speed overwrapping for bar soaps
Streamline your packaging line by efficiently overwrapping various product configurations, reducing downtime with rapid changeovers, while maintaining high-speed operations up to 100 bundles per minute.

Collates and Overwraps Bar Soaps and Cartoned Products
The 3703 Overwrapping Machine from IMA Group specializes in efficiently collating and overwrapping bar soaps and cartoned personal care products. Designed to handle wrapped or cartoned items, it employs a high-speed mechanism capable of producing up to 100 bundles per minute. Servo-driven for precise operation, it arranges products in multiple bundle configurations using cellophane, polypropylene (PP), and heat-sealable films, even at very thin gauges. The lateral belt infeed system ensures product stability at high speeds, while a driven star-wheel expertly turns products on edge. Fast changeover with pre-assembled groups minimizes downtime, enhancing production efficiency. Compatible with a range of films, the machine serves industries such as personal care and home care, processing items like sandalwood soap bars, boxed shampoo bars, and cartoned detergent pods. It supports seamless integration into existing lines, offering configurable options to meet specific operational needs.
