The CIEMME Top-Load line, part of the IMA Group, automatically forms, fills and closes cartons on an industrial packaging line.

This robotic solution is designed for manufacturers looking for a flexible line to automate carton packing.

Operating Principle of the Robotic Top-Load Line

Cartons are formed automatically upstream by the carton forming machine and then conveyed to the filling area.

The products to be packed arrive on the line and are handled by the automated filling system. One or more robots pick, count, orient and place the products into the cartons. Additional inspection systems, such as vision cameras, can also be integrated.

Once filled, the cartons are transferred to the carton closing machine, which closes them automatically. Depending on the version and line configuration, output can range from 30 to 150 cartons per minute.

Why choose PROPACK?

PROPACK has represented CIEMME, part of the IMA Group, for 30 years and supports manufacturers in selecting a robotic Top-Load line suited to their products, carton formats and production output. Our team analyses your industrial environment, layout constraints and automation objectives to propose a solution consistent with your packaging line.

Thanks to its end-of-line packaging expertise, PROPACK supports the integration of a complete solution combining carton forming, automatic robotic loading, vision inspection, conveying and carton closing. The objective is to implement a reliable, scalable line suited to your production requirements.

Technical Questions

What is a Top-Load line with automatic robotic loading?

A Top-Load line with automatic robotic loading is a packaging line that forms cartons, loads products from the top using a robot, and then automatically closes the filled cartons.

What are the advantages of a robotic Top-Load line?

A robotic Top-Load line automates carton filling, improves packaging consistency, reduces manual handling and allows production to be adapted to different formats or output rates.

What products can be packed on this line?

This solution can be used for many applications: food products, trays, chocolate bars, biscuits, confectionery, coffee and capsules, canned goods, boxes, bottles, pet food, prepared meals, pots, pouches, snacks, frozen foods or tubes.

What output can a Top-Load line with robot achieve?

Output depends on the model, robot type, carton format, product to be handled and line configuration. Depending on the version, output can range from 30 to 150 cartons per minute.

Can the line be adapted to different carton formats?

Yes. A robotic Top-Load line can be designed according to carton dimensions, the number of products to be loaded, required output rates and the layout constraints of the existing line.

What brand is this robotic Top-Load line?

This line is manufactured by CIEMME, part of the IMA Group. PROPACK has represented CIEMME for 30 years and supports companies in assessing, selecting and integrating these automated packaging solutions.
