Electronic filling machine FTC517

verticalvolumetricweight

Overview
Medium- to high-speed vertical dosing and filling machines for cartons, plastic and metal containers of various types and sizes, with dispensers or top opening, pressure or screw caps, in a mono-block platform. IMA Gima vertical dosing and filling FTC Series can manage soft and rigid containers such as cartons, bottles, tins and jars with cylindrical, square and irregular shape. Dosing systems include slat or electronic counting, volumetric or weighing systems, based on extensive confectionery-industry experience. Machines are modular, fully accessible and allow easy implementation of additional feeding systems, printers and quality control units.

Applications / Products handled

• Confectionery: capsules, pellets, tablets, hard and soft candies, gums, coated sweets, liquorice, sweeteners, nuts, dried fruit
• Nutraceuticals and personal care products
• Cartons, bottles, tins, jars (cylindrical, square, irregular shapes)

Machine highlights

• Versatile machines for all product types and formats
• Wide format range and flexibility in closure styles (pressure, screw, top-opening)
• Compact mono-block design with full accessibility and ergonomic operator position
• Quick, user-friendly format changeover using mechanical references
• Turnkey line capability from pack design to end-of-line
• Modular architecture for easy integration of dosing, feeding and inspection units
