IMA North America, PELV Booth N-9117, will exhibit its new Model BFB CP18 automatic side-loading case packer. The design is a new concept ideal for inserting individual/bundled cartons or a tray into a case for cosmetics and pharmaceutical products.

The BFB CP18 features stacking in front of the main pusher, using the cantilever design for an extremely compact and accessible machine. Its horizontal case magazine makes loading easy, while arms assure perfectly squared cases during insertion. It takes just a few minutes to change tool sizes, and fine adjustments are made via digital indicators. Case closure is by adhesive tape or hot melt glue. In addition, the show machine will feature a product tracking system.

IMA is pleased to announce ELAU as its partner for its End of Line Division machine automation, using the PacDrive system to achieve maximum flexibility, changeover speed and dependability. Examples include the trend-setting 6-axis Flexa servo cartoner introduced at Interpack in April.
