IMA stands out as a key technological partner and business advisor for packaging technology suppliers in the dairy, cheese and plant-based alternatives markets. Packaging plays a crucial role in the dairy industry, ensuring product freshness, safety, and consumer appeal. As consumer preferences shift towards sustainability and user-experience, there is a growing demand for innovative dairy solutions. Producers are seeking eco-friendly materials, extended shelf-life options, and captivating designs that enhance brand visibility from primary packaging all the way to the end of the line.
Technologies
Machines for dosing and wrapping butter, margarine, and pasty products in bricks and sticks, from mini portions 7-25g to consumer and larger portions from 50g up to 1kg, from low to high-speed production output.
More hygienic, longer-lasting, and easier to use, FoldWrap redefines how butter is packaged and enjoyed. After decades of the same traditional stick, it’s time for a change. IMA introduces an eco-friendly solution with tamper-evident, hermetic sealing for extended shelf life and an intuitive, grease-free opening that delivers a cleaner, more convenient experience for consumers.
Flexible and high-value wraparound cartoners from flat blanks, designed to pack butter, margarine, and spreads in sticks, bricks, and mini portions. Highly versatile in portion configurations, these machines allow fast and easy format changes for different carton sizes.
Filling and sealing machines designed for pasty products with the highest hygiene standards.
These solutions fill preformed containers of various sizes and shapes with exceptional flexibility, while guaranteeing extreme accuracy and efficiency throughout the process.
Our solutions process a huge variety of portion cup designs and materials such as PS, PET and PP. They offer maximum accuracy, precise product cut-off and gentle product handling.
Our range of vertical baggers and FFS machines deliver high-performance, versatile packaging for dairy products. From entry-level 3-side seal baggers to high-speed stick pack systems and 4-side seal pouch machines, these solutions ensure efficiency, hygiene, and flexibility. Available in Clean and Ultra-clean designs, with customizable features, they offer speeds from 10 bags/min up to 43,200 stick packs/hour to meet every production need.
The MMP400 handles all wrapped butter, cheese, and margarine formats—from rolls and ovals to rectangles, tubs, and cups—while ensuring gentle, damage‑free handling at every stage. Its three‑belt infeed maintains smooth spacing and high‑speed flow (up to 240 pcs/min), while the braking system cushions delicate packs before loading. A precise double‑pusher system then positions each layer into the case with care, keeping every pack intact, undamaged, and perfectly shaped.
