Meet the IMA BFB CPVU: Compact. Flexible. Unstoppable.
Introducing the CPVU, our latest vertical case packing innovation designed for high-speed, high-efficiency packaging in space-constrained environments. Purpose-built to simplify complex operations, the CPVU delivers top performance with a streamlined footprint.

Designed for performance, built for simplicity
Whether you’re reconfiguring existing lines or designing new ones, the CPVU offers unmatched layout flexibility and operational ease:
- Ultra-Compact Design: with its smart “U-flow” layout—where the product infeed and case outfeed are on the same side—the CPVU optimizes floor space and improves accessibility.
- Flexible Layout Integration: the CPVU can receive products inline, from the operator side, or from the opposite side—adapting seamlessly to various production line configurations and space constraints.
- High Throughput: Operating at speeds of up to 450 bags per minute, the CPVU is ideal for high-volume production without compromising product handling quality.

Smarter Changeovers, Less Downtime
We understand that changeover is one of the most critical phases in any production environment. That’s why the CPVU has been engineered to minimize it as much as possible. In key areas, the machine automatically adapts to new case sizes—no parts need to be replaced. This dramatically reduces the time and effort required for size changes, helping you maintain a consistent production flow with minimal interruption.
Key Features at a Glance
- Integrated Buffering System: a product insertion hopper also functions as a dynamic buffer, allowing continuous case filling and eliminating the need for extended accumulation conveyors.
- Ingenious Case Transport: both the case magazine and the exit point are positioned on the same side of the machine. This “way in, way out” configuration minimizes the machine’s footprint and contributes to a more compact and accessible line design.
- Precision Handling: the machine ensures accurate product counting and even distribution within each case, minimizing risk of pile-ups and maintaining consistency.
- Versatile Product Compatibility: designed to handle a wide range of product shapes and sizes, as well as various case formats, including shelf-ready and display solutions.
- Precise Sealing: the CPVU ensures exact case closing using either hot melt glue or adhesive tape, guaranteeing package integrity and product protection with every seal.
