Rotary filling and sealing for liquid to pasty products
Boost production efficiency with a flexible rotary solution that handles everything from liquid to high viscosity, ensuring seamless filling and sealing across diverse product types from yogurts to soups.

Fills and Seals Dairy and Food Containers
The R-LINE from IMA Group is a rotary filling and sealing machine designed for high-speed, automated packaging of food and dairy products. This machine stands out due to its hygienic wash-down design, accommodating a variety of pre-formed cups, tubs, and bottles, ranging from small yogurt cups to large margarine sticks. It operates with high flexibility, seamlessly integrating into existing production lines with its modular design. Capable of processing up to 36,000 units per hour, the R-LINE handles both liquid and high-viscous products with or without particulates.
Its future-proof construction allows it to transition between different container sizes and materials, including recyclable and mono-material options, aligning with sustainability goals. Automation is enhanced through PLC control, supporting both “clean” and “aseptic ready” operations. The ergonomic design facilitates maintenance, while the absence of a table plate enhances sanitation. With configurations available for various industry needs, the R-LINE is ideal for dairy producers, food manufacturers, and beverage companies seeking efficient and reliable packaging solutions.
