Almarai expands capacities
IMA GASTI
Leading Saudi Arabian food corporation “Almarai” has commissioned
two additional cup filling and sealing machines manufactured by IMA
GASTI. The newly developed “CONTITHERM 162” machines are
among the most highly productive of their kind in the world. This
means that the Saudi Arabian company now has a total of 19 IMA
GASTI machines in operation.
With an output of 40,320 cups per hour, the CONTITHERM 162
ranks among the most productive machines in the world when it comes
to filling liquid to pasty products. The machines fill pre-formed cups with
yoghurt products for Almarai. The continuous motion principle prevents
the product from sloshing during the transport to the sealing station with
pre-cut foils in spite of the extremely rapid cup transport.
