IMA Dairy & Food Introduces Tools for Eco-Conscious Monomaterial Packaging
IMA Dairy & Food USA, whose equipment solutions comprise the Gasti, Hamba, Hassia, Fillshape, Corazza, Erca, and Intecma brands, introduces a set of tools ideally suited for food brands utilizing sustainable mono-material packages.
The company’s patented ZERO Technology tools are designed for manufacturers hoping to transition their packaging to more eco-conscious materials, such as PET, PP, and PLA.
Ideally suited to IMA’s Erca, Hassia, and Intecma brands of form-fill-seal (FFS) machines, ZERO Technology utilizes a patented punch process providing high-quality cutting and precutting of PET, PP, and PLA. This allows for easily breaking multipacks into individual units – a cumbersome process that has limited the use of eco-friendly, mono-material packaging materials in many applications.
