Flow wrapping and cartoning line for biscuits

IMA Ilapak primary packaging

The line is capable of packing cookies in various configurations, from individually wrapped biscuits to twin-packs in which the biscuits are in a single stack and packs of four biscuits in two stacks, at speeds of up to 500 pieces per minute. Size changeovers are executed in a matter of minutes, thanks to interchangeable product guides, a removable stacking device and an interchangeable sealing head.

The wrapper incorporates in-built quality control for detecting and rejecting broken products prior to wrapping, a ‘no product no bag’ function and automatic reel splicing for continuous operation.

Flow packs, arriving short side leading from one lane are spaced and conveyed (through specific accelerating belts) to a vertical track collation system that receives and indexes the products which are then picked up (in tracking) by a Delta robot (with a specific vacuum end effector) and placed in the carton boxes.

The line combines different Ciemme equipment including a high-speed double-head carton former (lock) and a single head carton former (glue) to satisfy a customer’s specific request; to end one high speed 90° carton closing (glue) complete the system.

In order to provide a complete system solution, we supply up and down-stream equipment for primary packaging, conveyors, check weigher, metal detector as well as printer/coder/reader modules.

120 carton boxes per minute can be erected, loaded and closed and up to 240 products per minute can be picked and placed with a single 3-axis robot.

Nowadays customers need more than just a separate stand-alone solution: they need an overall concept that incorporates their products into planning and every production step.

Ciemme together with all the IMA Companies support the customer as partners with comprehensive turnkey solutions.
