Our range of closing machines is designed for closing boxes with integrated lids. The machine folds the flaps down and seals them with hot-melt glue or an interlocking closure system. The lid structure can be designed with three flaps or one flap.

Speed is electronically adjustable up to 200 boxes per minute, and format changeover is simple and quick, with no dedicated tools required.

The closing machines work in sequence with our forming machines: once the box has been formed and the product has been inserted, they close the lid and complete the cycle. If the process requires a top-loading solution, the loading unit is integrated between the two machines.

Why choose Vimco closing machines

Each Vimco closing machine is sized according to the actual process specifications: lid characteristics, closing system, and required speed. Here are the advantages this choice brings to your line.

200 boxes per minute.

The machines are designed to reach high speeds, up to 200 cycles per minute.

Linear or angular configuration.

Depending on the characteristics of the closure, whether three-flap or one-flap, the type of machine is defined as either linear or angular before the specific model is selected.

Easy format changeover.

Switching from one format to another is quick and intuitive.

Different closing systems.

Closure can be achieved using glue or a tuck-in system, depending on the specific requirements.

Integration with the loading unit and forming machine.

The closing machines work in sequence with our loading units and forming machines, creating a complete secondary packaging line.

In which sectors do our machines operate?

Bakery & Biscuits

Vimco closing machines are suitable for high-volume lines for biscuits and bakery products. They are combined with the forming machine and the loading unit: the flat die-cut blank enters from one side, and the closed box exits from the other.

Chocolate & Confectionary

Boxes and trays for chocolate and confectionery products, with interlocking or gluing closure systems. Suitable for both functional packaging and presentations with high aesthetic requirements and with special finishes.

Frozen Food

Boxes for frozen products already packed in flowpacks or trays, with glue, hook or interlocking closures. The machine structure can be configured for environments with specific hygiene requirements.

Coffee & Tea

The high-speed configuration handles capsules and bags on continuous-cycle lines and the box can be closed with different technologies, according to the customer’s requirements.

Ready Meals

Su linee ad alto volume per piatti pronti si raggiungono 200 scatole al minuto. Il moto continuo regge le cadenze del settore senza interruzioni tra la fase di carico e quella di sigillatura.

Personal & Home Care

The closing machine is easily and fast adjustable and can work with different formats and configurations. Format changeover enables managing multiple product references on the same machine.

Dairy

I prodotti caseari escono con diverse referenze, con geometrie di coperchio diverse. La chiuditrice gestisce sia la configurazione a un lembo sia quella a tre lembi sulla stessa linea, con un cambio di formato rapido tra una e l'altra.

Pet Food

Pet food lines operate at high volumes, with limited tolerance for downtime. Continuous motion up to 200 boxes per minute ensures the required production rate without compromising closing quality, regardless of the format being produced.

Pasta, Rice & Cereals

Packaging for pasta and cereals often features medium to large-sized containers with three-flap lids. The angled configuration correctly manages the geometry without forcing the board.

Non-Food

Components and fasteners require robust closures that withstand warehouse handling. Hot-melt sealing ensures the packaging's structural integrity throughout the logistics cycle, in both small and large formats.
