INTRAMA in South Africa

When advanced technology meets a vision for sustainable production, the result is true industrial transformation.

We are proud to present the successful implementation of a fully integrated INTRAMA solution at our client’s production facility in South Africa. The project includes the installation of:

  • INTRAMA Accent thermoforming machine equipped with the innovative INTRAMA TF Control system
  • INTRAMA Beluga automatic loading system

This is not simply an equipment installation. It is a strategic investment in efficiency, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness.

 

INTRAMA Accent – Stability and Precision in Every Cycle

INTRAMA Accent is a high-performance thermoforming machine designed for maximum reliability, flexibility, and process stability.

It provides precise control at every stage of production and ensures consistent packaging quality — even for complex and deep-draw formats.

 

INTRAMA TF Control – The Heart of the Project

INTRAMA TF Control is an advanced controlled thermoforming system that ensures uniform film distribution along the walls of the package, preventing excessive thinning and reducing the risk of tearing in critical areas and corners.

Even in deep-draw applications, it enables the use of thinner bottom films — without compromising strength or barrier properties.

The result is a double impact:

  • Reduced product and film waste caused by defective packaging
  • A measurable reduction of the environmental footprint of the packaging process

Less thickness. Same protection. Higher efficiency.

 

INTRAMA Beluga – Automation Without Compromising Flexibility

INTRAMA Beluga ensures the automatic transfer of sliced products from the outfeed conveyor of the slicing machine directly into the packages on the thermoforming line.

Its compact design allows installation even in production facilities with limited space.

The possibility of quick installation and removal from the thermoforming line guarantees maximum flexibility of the packaging process.

Key Functional Advantages:

  • Continuous automated process from slicing to packaging
  • Increased loading speed and higher productivity
  • Automatic change of loading pattern when activating a new program
  • Minimal changeover time
  • Fast installation and removal of conveyor belts without the need for tools

 

Real Results. Measurable Value.

Following implementation, the client achieved:

✔ Optimized material consumption
✔ Increased process stability and repeatability
✔ Reduced production variability
✔ Improved profitability per packaged unit
✔ A tangible step toward more sustainable manufacturing

 

This project was successfully implemented in close cooperation with our partner Bizerba Southern Africa, demonstrating the power of strong partnerships and integrated solutions.
