The IMA CP18 is a used weigh packaging machine — sometimes referred to as a case packer — designed to erect, fill, and close corrugated or folded cases around a product, making it well suited to pharmaceutical packaging lines and similar production environments. IMA is a well-established Italian manufacturer with a long history of supplying automated packaging machinery to the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries.
Built in 2016 and currently located in Italy, this machine is configured around a horizontal case magazine that allows operators to load blanks easily without interrupting production. During the loading cycle, suction cups fitted to the pick-up head hold each case open and upright while product is inserted, ensuring consistent handling and reducing the risk of misaligned packs. All working parts of the machine are accessible from a single operator side, which simplifies routine maintenance, changeovers, and intervention without the need to work around guarding or reach across the machine.
The CP18 handles a wide range of case sizes, accepting formats from a minimum of 220 × 120 × 120 mm up to a maximum of 600 × 400 × 350 mm, giving production managers considerable flexibility when running multiple SKUs or format changes. Output is rated at eight cases per minute.
The machine has also been designed with future-proofing in mind. Optional equipment groups can be added, including a case-overturning unit, product tracking systems, and camera-based detection devices. The machine can additionally be configured for fully servo-driven operation, which typically improves precision, reduces mechanical wear, and simplifies format changes. This combination of broad format range, pharmaceutical-grade handling, and expandable functionality makes the CP18 a versatile option for secondary packaging lines.
