Cigarette Packer

Years of experience in packaging machines, innovative packs and rapid market changes have inspired IMA T&T to develop a unique machine capable of everything. FLEX-A family: the flexible solution for cigarette packets.

Flexibility

Thanks to the FLEX-A family, IMA T&T is able to provide a wide variety of medium to high-speed packers, studied to minimize the conversion time between different packet styles. The direct drive technology allows the packer to complete the packaging process despite machine stops, with a reduction of rejected packets. The packer design features a reduced footprint, a faster jam removal and a substantial cut in noise levels. Its electronic torque control checks every machine movement assuring high quality during the whole process and reducing parts breakage in the case of jams.

The flexibility of these machines makes them perfect for producing different packet sizes, from 10 up to 50 cigarettes per packet, or special innovative packs.

Sustainability

The machines that are composing the packaging line can be equipped with systems that reduce the energy consumption (Power supply, compressed air and vacuum) through sensors that recognize the inactivity of the machine and automatically insert the “standby” mode.

Since the beginning the flexibility characterizes our way of thinking and that is reflected in the FLEX A family. Today, flexibility doesn’t mean only fast size changeover and wide range of pack possibilities, but is now declined also in huge variability of materials, closer and closer to low impact on the earth and recyclability.
FLEX A family is once again ahead in that, able to handle recyclable and fully paper based materials and help our tomorrow.
