Step into Cognitive Manufacturing
The IMA Ever‑Evolving System invites you into a new era of manufacturing.
Endless flexibility for filling, sealing and closing of conical or parallel sided cups
EFS-L is a format flexible indexing platform for pre-formed cups, utilising new technology enhances the available options and ease of operation and maintenance procedures.
Modular in design with stainless steel construction and servo operations allows for flexibility with filling stations, pre-fill and post fill for wet or dry ingredients, chainless solution for the cup transportation enables format flexibility and precision index positioning throughout the machine.
Built with opportunities up to ultra-clean standards as well as the efficiency options needs for cups, heat seal and re-closable lids.
