Bottle and Jars Filling and Closing
Technology
IMA filling and closing machines
for bottles and jars
We offer a complete range of stand-alone and monoblock machines for filling and closing bottles and jars, designed to meet the needs of both small-scale producers and high-output industrial environments. Our solutions span different levels of automation, from semi-automatic systems for flexible, small-batch production to fully automatic and robotized lines for continuous, high-speed operations. Hybrid configurations are also available to combine various automation stages into a seamless process. Our machines are available in rotative or linear formats, with continuous or intermittent motion, and can handle a wide range of filling volumes and speeds for liquid, creamy, or powdery products. They incorporate advanced technologies such as volumetric and flowmeter systems, ensuring high precision even with viscous products. Servo-driven pumps and adjustable nozzles provide precise control over filling speed and volume, minimizing waste and ensuring consistency. To tailor each solution to your specific needs, we offer a broad selection of ancillary equipment, including CIP systems, feeding solutions for containers of any shape and material, orienteering and conveyor systems, bottle blowers, and cooling tunnels.

Personal care
In the Personal Care sector, filling products into bottles and jars demands precision, flexibility, and attention to both product integrity and packaging aesthetics. IMA Group offers complete, high-performance solutions capable of handling a wide range of cosmetic textures—from fluid lotions to viscous creams and foaming formulas. Equipped with servo-driven pumps and customizable nozzles, these systems ensure consistent dosing even with challenging product viscosities. Every element of the filling process is designed to minimize product waste while maintaining texture and appearance.
IMA machines are available as stand-alone units or integrated into fully automated production lines. A broad selection of closing solutions complements the filling equipment, with options for crimping, pressure, or screw caps. These closing units can be integrated with the filler or supplied separately, depending on the application. Designed for markets characterized by frequent changeovers and extensive format variation, the modular configurations allow customized line layouts tailored to space and production requirements. Tool-free adjustments and quick changeover capabilities support high efficiency, even under demanding production schedules. -
