IMA VTP's OPEN HOUSE! 14 -16 May, 2024
Join us at this unique event: for the first time IMA VTP opens its gates and welcomes you! Come discover the first tissue packaging line, 100% assembled in USA.
Come discover the first complete tissue packaging line assembled in IMA VTP.
We are pleased to welcome you at our Open House, from 14th to 16th May 2024. For the first time, our visitors will have the chance to explore a complete packaging line manufactured by IMA VTP and IMA TMC.
Get the chance to discover first-hand the WRAP250, high-speed tissue wrapper for single to multi-roll configuration. With a stunning speed of 250 packs/minute, it’s the fastest tissue wrapper on the market.
Alongside the wrapper, comes the sleek and efficient CP2000XL casepacker equipped with servo diverter technology. Additionally, IMA VTP’s high-speed conveyors and the cost-effective robotic palletizing cell will be on display, showcasing the seamless integration of automation into packaging processes.
You will be able to view production runs of 4 and 12-pack bathroom tissue, and paper wrap of 3-pack household towel.
Lunch provided.

[overview] => WRAP250 is the answer to the need of a high-speed single to multi-roll wrapper for tissue products.
This machine overcomes by 25% the market average maximum capacity of packs per minute, requiring only a single packaging line to produce up to 1000 rolls per minute, avoiding production limitation for rewinders.
The Smart Overhead trolley allows continuous motion transfer during folding, while the Push-Pull technology leaves only one finger set between two packs.
The Never-Stop Technology, embedded in WRAP250, checks the correct rolls configuration immediately before the elevator, identifying any rolls that are:
- out of shape (tail)
- out of position (tipped)
- incorrectly launched (missing or extra count) inside the flying bar
Without any operator intervention, the non-compliant configurations are discarded and replaced with new ones without stopping the machine.
As a multi-material wrapper, WRAP250 has the ability to treat both polyethylene film and heat-sealable paper, bringing to the market new products packed with eco-sustainable materials in response to a demand for increasingly “green” products.
When switching packaging materials from polyethylene to paper or vice versa, the machine doesn’t need to be modified: simply changing the reel turns it immediately ready to produce a first quality pack.

[overview] => IMA TMC packaging lines can be completed with fully customizable end of line solutions.
When handling tissue products, it is essential to rely on technologies that allow palletizing of products without damage. Traditional compression and suction technologies are ideal when handling products of a certain stiffness, but may not be suitable for handling very delicate or soft products such as bundles of paper rolls. IMA TMC has developed the new NEST: a patented layer pick end-of-arm (EOA) gripping head solution that uses unidirectional chains, supporting products from below.
NEST technology innovates the traditional layer picking EOA tool: in addition to having all the peculiarities of a bottom-gripping EOA, thanks to which the product is supported and not crushed, stressed or deformed by contact, NEST has the advantage of having the same overall dimensions both extended or retracted position. This makes it possible to have up to 50% less space than a parallel opening gripper and to be able to create multi-line and multi-product palletizing solutions in smaller spaces.
NEST is fast, precise and reliable even in harsh environmental conditions, for example in dusty or wet surroundings. All movements are servo-motorized to obtain maximum precision and speed and it is made entirely of aluminum and carbon fiber to reduce weight without decreasing its strength.
With operator friendly HMIs, developed by IMA TMC, our systems offer unique easy pattern generation software that assures a very efficient, easy and friendly use. IMA TMC solutions can include the needed auxiliary devices to have the pallet ready to be loaded and delivered.
No matter how simple or complex your end of line needs are, IMA TMC has a solution for you.

Traditional compression and suction technologies are ideal when handling products of a certain stiffness, but may not be suitable for handling very delicate or soft products such as bundles of paper rolls. In this sense, TMC has accepted the requests of many producers, who complained of excessive stress on the product during the compression phase, by developing the new NEST: a patented layer gripping head solution that uses unidirectional chains, lifting products from below.
NEST technology innovates the traditional pliers: in addition to having all the peculiarities of a bottom-gripping plier, thanks to which the product is supported and not crushed, stressed or deformed by contact, NEST has the advantage of having the same overall dimensions both in withdrawal and in storage. This makes it possible to have up to 50% less space than a parallel opening gripper and to be able to create multi-line and multi-product palletizing solutions in smaller spaces.
NEST is fast, precise and reliable even in harsh environmental conditions, for example in dusty or wet surroundings. All movements are servo-motorized to obtain maximum precision and speed and it is made entirely of aluminium and carbon to reduce weight without decreasing its strength.
