In an industry where factory floor space is at a premium and sustainability is no longer optional, IMA Corazza delivers a game-changing breakthrough for soup and bouillon producers worldwide. Unveiled at Interpack, the new FD10-AD10 wrapping and cartoning line reimagines high-speed setting new industry standards for material flexibility and dosing precision.
Half the Size, Zero Compromise
At the core of this innovation is the FD10 wrapping unit, a new solution capable of wrapping an impressive 1,000 cubes per minute. By replacing traditional linear systems with a smart, electronically driven four-lane rotating wheel, IMA Corazza has consolidated foil feeding, precision dosing, folding, and soft pressing into a single ultra-compact workstation.
The result? The FD10 requires more than 50% less floor space than traditional packaging lines of similar output. Available in a mirror-image layout, it offers ultimate layout flexibility for modern, space-conscious processing plants.
Unmatched Dosing Accuracy: Say Goodbye to Product Giveaway
Profitability lies in precision. The FD10 features a state-of-the-art electronic dosing system driven by four independent servo motors and real-time load-cell feedback. Every single cube is weighed and adjusted instantly to account for density shifts, practically eliminating costly product giveaway.
Furthermore, a newly engineered low-pressure dosing body easily handles soft, high-fat masses that frequently clog or stall standard machines, giving manufacturers total freedom to innovate with new recipes.
Paving the Way for Sustainable Packaging
As consumer demand shifts toward eco-friendly solutions, the FD10 leads the transition. Engineered to process both traditional aluminum foil and paper-based alternatives, the line solves the dreaded “dead fold” challenge. Standard paper often springs open after folding, but IMA Corazza’s completely redesigned folding assembly wraps paper-based substrates tightly and securely around every cube, without sacrificing line speed or visual appeal.
Seamless Integration and Rapid Changeovers
The AD10 cartoning unit completes the high-efficiency setup, effortlessly taking output cubes, rotating them 90 degrees if needed, and packing them into boxes ranging from 2 to 48 cubes.
Bouillon cube packaging detail
Downtime is kept to an absolute minimum thanks to an intuitive, plug-and-play color-coded tooling design that allows operators to perform complete format changes in under 20 minutes. Coupled with automated rejection systems for faulty or empty packages, the FD10-AD10 guarantees that only flawless products reach your store shelves.
