IMA Ilapak has made an industry breakthrough, launching the world’s first variable geometry flow wrapper. The revolutionary Delta OF-360 X is capable of running any packaging films, from paper-based films to complex laminates and recyclable mono-polymer films, with changeovers effected simply by pressing a button on the machine’s HMI. At a time when the future direction of sustainable packaging is fluid and uncertain, this HFFS solution gives manufacturers and packers total flexibility to switch easily between different substrates – whether they already exist or have yet to be developed.

As well as future-proofing factories to keep pace with packaging material changes, the Delta OF-360 X insulates manufacturers against energy price rises. The machine is built on IMA Ilapak’s new full-electric flow wrapping platform, which uses on average 37% less power than a conventional flow wrapper. IMA Ilapak’s engineers have achieved these efficiency gains by replacing energy-intensive pneumatic applications with highly efficient linear actuators.
