Lid applicator for wet wipe packaging

Achieve precise lid placement on flow pack wet wipes with high-speed automation, ensuring minimal waste and effortless changeovers to enhance efficiency in your production line.

Applies Lids to Wet Wipe Packages

The CM Series by IMA Group offers high-speed lid applicators designed for precise and efficient application of plastic lids onto wet wipe packets. These machines stand out with their top-tier 4-axis Delta Robots that ensure accurate lid placement, even at speeds up to 150 packs per minute. Ideal for wet wipe manufacturers and packaging companies, the CM Series accommodates various lid shapes and sizes with a rapid changeover feature facilitated by an intuitive HMI. Operating with less than 2% scrap, these machines integrate seamlessly with existing production lines and require minimal operator intervention. Available configurations, such as the CM100 and CM150, offer flexibility in operational throughput and lid feeding lanes for tailored production needs.
