Z Series Weighing and Counting

Machine overview

Counting redefined for bakery and frozen lines.

The IMA Ilapak Z-Series is a high-precision, linear, vibratory counting system tailored for bakery and frozen food manufacturers. From kaiser rolls to croissants and donuts, it handles a wide variety of shapes and sizes with minimal product damage. 
Available with 4 to 12 vibrating channels, the system aligns products before counting them with full-width fibre optic sensors — guaranteeing consistent accuracy up to 200 pieces per minute. 
Its stainless-steel, self-draining frame and tool-free removable components ensure fast sanitation and changeover, meeting the highest food safety standards. 
Modularity is at the core of the Z-Series: the system can be split into independent sections to count and distribute different products simultaneously, or serve multiple packaging machines. Seamless integration with vertical, horizontal or pre-made pouch machines is guaranteed.
