Analysing the latest trends, we can identify a number of factors that influence the production of truly high-quality dairy products. These include the composition and quality of raw materials, the production technology of the dairy product, the conditions of its packaging and packaging, and the packaging materials used.

One of the last technological operations in the production process is the bottling, packaging and packaging of finished products. When choosing packaging for its product, the manufacturer needs to consider not only design and technical characteristics, but also ease of use, as this aspect plays an important role in the consumer's choice of product.
Thanks to modern technology, manufacturers have completely new types of packaging at their disposal. The most widespread is plastic packaging, mainly in the form of cups. It is used to pack sour cream, mayonnaise, yoghurts, cottage cheese and other food products.
ILPRA - quality and reliability
Today, the market for equipment suppliers offers a wide range of offers that can satisfy the manufacturer's needs. However, not every company, even a foreign one, can achieve this goal, namely, to supply high-quality and reliable equipment at a reasonable price. It is this factor that distinguishes the Italian company ILPRA from a large number of equipment manufacturers.
ILPRA was founded in 1955 and quickly established its presence in the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical packaging market sectors. The company has the ability to develop various patented state-of-the-art designs based on quality, efficiency, ease of use and safety.
A wide range of possibilities
With a wide range of equipment models that can be fully modified to suit customers' needs, ILPRA offers any packaging solution - from low to high capacity - for virtually any food product.
- The FOODPACK line (tray sealers) is designed to meet a variety of production needs, ideal for both simple sealing processes (e.g. frozen food) and modified atmosphere packaging (e.g. meat, fish, ready meals).
- The FORMPACK line (thermoformers) is designed for packaging various products, such as meat and deli meats, cheeses, fish, seafood, etc. The machines work both for simple sealing and with vacuum and modified gas environments.
- FILL SEAL machines are suitable for both liquid food products (milk, drinking yoghurt, juice) and creamy food products (yoghurt, sour cream, cheese, soup, sauce, pate, etc.). Some models in this series are also available with a vacuum/gas system to extend the shelf life of the product.
Using advanced technologies
The FILL SEAL line competes with the best foreign packaging equipment lines in the dairy sector. A wide range of models allows filling and sealing up to 20 thousand glasses per hour using advanced technologies.
Almost all FILL SEAL models are available in the Ultraclean version. First, the product and packaging material (cups and lids) are processed, then the containers are filled with the product and sealed under clean conditions.
The entire work surface is covered with appropriate protective devices, which allows the machine to be kept under excessive sterile air pressure. This technology increases the shelf life of products without the use of preservatives.
One of the most popular models among dairy producers is the FILL SEAL 5000. This rotary table dosing and sealing machine with eight workstations is fully automatic with a capacity of up to 5,000 packs per hour.
The versatility of this model allows it to be used for liquid and creamy products, even those with inclusions. The machine can handle containers made of PP, PET, APET, aluminium, cardboard and lacquered glass, as well as finished plates or film from a roll.
Advantages of the equipment:
Reliability. All movements of the machine are mechanical, which guarantees the accuracy and speed of the working cycle and provides for a minimum of maintenance operations.
Hygiene. The IP 65 protection class and industrial design make cleaning operations for this equipment easy and fast. Hygienic systems are available, such as the ability to connect to an automatic washing and CIP system, sterile air supply, and handling of containers and sealing materials.
Advanced technologies. Dosing units with high dosing accuracy, first-class components (Festo, Siemens, etc.), high-quality materials (stainless steel and anodised iron).
Adaptation to the client. A wide range of options - different container shapes with the ability to quickly change the format, additional dosing stations, automatic capping system after sealing, multi-stage filling, etc.
