Technology
IMA’s flow wrappers can be customized to meet each customer’s specific needs, providing maximum production flexibility and efficiency at every performance level—from entry-level machines to fully automated, high-speed lines. Each model is available in multiple configurations and can be equipped with a wide range of optional modules for the packaging of food, coffee, home and personal care items, tissue and non-wovens, as well as pharmaceutical and medical products.
Horizontal Form Fill & Seal
In the Food sector, flow wrapping demands versatility, hygienic design, and high reliability. IMA’s HFFS solutions handle a wide range of products – bakery items, chocolate and confectionery, biscuits, snacks, cheese, fresh produce, meat and poultry, fish and seafood, breakfast cereals, frozen goods, and pet food – ensuring gentle handling and consistent pack integrity. Our machines deliver high productivity, rapid format changeovers, and compatibility with sustainable films, providing protective and visually appealing packages across all speed requirements and line configurations.

In the Coffee market, flow wrapping plays a key role in preserving aroma, freshness, and overall sensory quality. IMA’s HFFS solutions are optimized for capsules and pods, ensuring high seal integrity, barrier protection, and gentle product handling. Compatibility with sustainable materials, optional protective-atmosphere features, and full integration with dosing and filling processes provide reliable, attractive packages for both retail and professional channels.
Horizontal Form Fill & Seal
In the Home & Personal Care industry, flow wrapping plays a crucial role in protecting items sensitive to moisture, contamination, or impact while ensuring a flawless on-shelf appearance. IMA’s HFFS technologies handle soaps, sponges, accessories, and individually wrapped cosmetic items with precision and care. Sustainable materials, reliable sealing, controlled product handling, and flexibility for fragile or premium formats make these machines ideal for high-volume production.
Horizontal Form Fill & Seal
In the Tissue & Nonwovens sector, flow wrapping provides a high-speed, open-frame solution designed specifically for the wipes industry. Pillow or quad-seal packs can be produced, with or without gusseting or reclosable systems, including labelling and lidding. The machines are fully compatible with cleanroom environments, energy-efficient, and optimized for sustainable and recyclable materials. Rapid format changeovers, modular design, and seamless integration with converting and end-of-line systems ensure continuous, high-efficiency operation on fast-paced lines.

Born from IMA’s extensive experience in the Pharma sector, HFFS flow wrapping solutions combine product protection, innovative architecture, and proven know-how, offering minimal footprint, full visibility of product and packaging, and easy access for cleaning, operations, and maintenance. Excellent ergonomics, rapid format changes, and built-in bypass functionality ensure smooth production. Their modularity and flexibility make them suitable for a wide range of applications, including blisters, syringes, inhalers, medical devices, and bottles, while fully complying with GMP standards.
Stand-alone HFFS machines with manual feeding system and without M.A.P. devices. Ideal for dry and non-perishable products at medium-low production speeds. Film control, NPNB (No Product No Bag) and servo-driven are just some of the features that can be provided and installed on this range of HFFS machines.
One of the most effective ways to extend the shelf life of fresh products is to pack them in a hermetically sealed pack with a modified atmosphere. IMA robust flow wrappers are precisely engineered to ensure a reliable sealing process. This range of machines are also ideally suited for non-food applications where a hermetically sealed pack is required, such as medical and personal care products like wet wipes.
Thanks to proven expertise gained in food & non-food industries’ key applications, IMA offers integrated flow wrapping solutions for specific products or markets delivering high efficiency and maximising the OEE with real time production and remote diagnostics data. Fully automated solutions for applications such as pizza & tortillas and primal meat.
Product distribution and conditioning to a flow wrapping system forms part of IMA’s integrated solutions philosophy ensuring the highest efficiency is achieved and maintained. Integrated Distribution Systems include buffer storage and refeed modules, row removal, staging and feeding as well as gentle product handling and accurate timing. Cross belt feeding systems linked to flow wrappers and aligning systems for products coming randomly to complete the range.
In some instances, either the product, the delivery method, or the space available results in a robotic solution being the best fit. These systems, such as pick & place or loading robots, may feed directly into the wrapper infeed or may pre-group the product to conveyors to allow subsequent delivery to the wrappers through smart belt systems that ensure constant delivery to the wrappers.
