Vertical intermittent motion stick packaging
Experience seamless packing for diverse products, from powders to dense pastes, with versatile system configurations designed to enhance efficiency, ensure precise dosing, and facilitate quick changeovers for uninterrupted production flow.
Packs, Doses, Seals, and Synchronizes Products
The STICK Series from IMA Group offers unparalleled versatility with vertical intermittent motion, designed to meet diverse packaging needs across industries. Engineered for high efficiency, the machine adeptly packs, doses, and seals paste, fluid, and solid products into compact stick formats. It’s ideal for products like tomato paste, shampoo sachets, and pharmaceutical tablets.
Featuring configurations like the STICK 360 for smaller outputs and frequent changeovers, and the STICK 720 for high production demands, these machines accommodate multiple dosing systems. Integration is seamless with automated synchronization enabling streamlined operations with existing production lines.
Equipped with advanced sealing systems, the STICK Series allows for minimal energy consumption and environmental impact. The vertical and horizontal sealing units facilitate easy cleaning and size changeovers, crucial for maintaining high hygiene standards. Optional checkweigher systems ensure precise weight control, enhancing product consistency.
Constructed for reduced waste and compatibility with recycled materials, these machines support sustainable operations. Whether you’re in food manufacturing or pharmaceutical production, the STICK Series offers customizable solutions tailored to your operational requirements, with comprehensive engineering support to ensure optimal performance.
