AHP Making
With decades of experience in the hygiene sector, IMA has developed advanced converting and packaging technologies specifically designed for absorbent hygiene products such as baby diapers, adult briefs, absorbent pads, feminine care, and other nonwoven-based hygiene products.
Banding
Our automatic banding machines offer an efficient and flexible solution for sealing round boxes of triangular portions of processed cheese, including multi-layer formats. Depending on the application, they can apply either paper sealing bands with an easy-to-open tear string, using cold glue application, or pre-cut self-adhesive banderoles, ensuring product integrity, secure closure, and a clean, high-quality appearance.
Bundling
We bring deep expertise and continuous innovation to bundling technologies tailored for both tissue products, such as toilet and kitchen rolls, and nonwoven items, including absorbent hygiene products and wet wipes flow packs.
Carton Closing
Closing machines are suitable to close the boxes with frontal flap or along the three lateral flaps by hot melt closure or interlocking systems, ensuring reliable, lasting closures to protect the integrity of the product. This technology serves industries like food, coffee, personal and home care, pharmaceutical, tissue & nonwoven.
Carton Forming
Forming machines with single, double or triple forming heads are suitable for erecting a variety of cartons and trays starting from flat blanks, E-flute and corrugated carton boxes by means of hot-melt, turn-over end walls or inter-locking system. This technology serves industries like food, coffee, personal and home care, pharmaceutical, tissue & nonwoven.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
FACE 400 Series: complete solutions for masks and respirators.
IMA has developed advanced technologies for the production of surgical masks and PPE respirators, with or without exhalation valves. The FACE 400 Series includes two dedicated models:
•FACE 400, designed for surgical masks
•FACE 400D, engineered for fish-shape head loop FFP2/3 – N95 respirators with up to five layers
While surgical masks are primarily used in hospital environments where air filtration does not require specific performance, respirators serve as essential PPE in heavy-duty sectors such as foundries, glass and wood industries, painting shops, construction, pharma and any application requiring high-efficiency air filtration. For these demanding conditions, IMA has engineered the FACE 400D.
Operating at speeds of up to 300 pieces per minute, FACE 400D introduces an innovative design that replaces metal staples with elastic encapsulation using hot glue and reinforced nonwoven patches, ensuring comfort, durability and a superior fit. The same line can integrate exhalation valves for heavy-duty applications.

OCEAN
A new wave for absorbent mat production.
OCEAN is IMA Teknoweb’s state-of-the-art converting line for absorbent hygiene products.
Designed to run up to 500 pads per minute, it combines innovative core-forming technology with a 4 or 5-layer structure to deliver lightweight, highly absorbent underpads with superior quality and appearance. Versatile and efficient, OCEAN is ideal for applications such as underpads, pet pads and baby changing pads, while seamlessly integrating into IMA’s full packaging ecosystem.
W-PACK
The wonderwrap.
W-PACK redefines packaging for feminine care and light incontinence products.
This next-gen IMA TMC solution wraps items directly using the product itself as a template, rather than relying on traditional polyethylene bags. With a speed of up to 200 cycles per minute and real-time flow optimisation, it delivers top-tier performance. Plus, it slashes packaging costs by reducing material thickness (from 35–40 µm down to 25–30 µm) and supports eco-friendly paper wrapping using minimal, low-impact, hot-melt adhesives (under 1.8% of the paper’s weight).
Sustainability
A pledge towards sustainability with
plastic-free and dispersible wipe lines
Every year billions of wet wipes are discarded or flushed, taking up to 100 years to biodegrade, thus adopting sustainable solutions in this market is a mandatory challenge.
To reduce wet wipes’ enviromental impact, new materials composed of natural fibres were identified, creating a new kind of nonwoven suitable for sustainable wet wipes.
Still, plastic-free and dispersible wipes are today just a market niche: manufacturing sustainable wet wipes may not be easy for producers, since recyclable raw materials may bring some issues to operations, due to the peculiarity and fragility of these fibres.
To tackle these issues, IMA Teknoweb developed a technology able to eliminate the inefficiencies resulting from these new materials in its length-fold machines.
Sustainability doesn’t stop with converting; IMA Ilapak’s flow wrappers are perfectly integrated into IMA Teknoweb’s wet wipe lines: these high-speed wrapping platforms are equipped with special profile jaws for new generation, plastic-free, primary packaging.
