Wrap-around cartoner for processed cheese portions
Streamline your cheese packaging with high-speed wrap-around cartoning, optimizing efficiency by pre-grouping portions and utilizing energy-saving motorization to minimize power waste and enhance sustainability.
Forms and Packs Cheese Portions Efficiently
The AD8F from IMA Group’s Food & Dairy sector is a wrap-around cartoning machine tailored for the demands of processed cheese packaging. It uniquely utilizes flat blanks to form cartons with tucked-in end flaps and glued seams, ensuring structural integrity. Designed to handle square and rectangular cheese portions, it achieves speeds of up to 120 boxes per minute, optimizing throughput for fast-paced production lines. Integration with inline synchronized belts and pre-grouped layout arranges portions for seamless packaging. Energy efficiency is prioritized with motorization that shares kinetic energy during braking and optional vacuum pumps to reduce air consumption. The machine supports sustainable packaging materials, aligning with environmentally conscious operations. Ideal for cheese manufacturers, the AD8F offers adaptable carton dimensions and is expertly supported by IMA Corazza’s engineering services for customization.
