Fast, compact and tight.
Fast stand up pouch filling, reliable sealing under contamination combined with a very compact machine design – these were the initial goals when IMA Fillshape and Herrmann Ultraschall came together for the first time.

Enzo Bocelli, Sales Product Manager at IMA Fillshape, remembered very well the first discussion with the Herrmann team. “Our goal was to offer to our customer one of the fastest and compact rotary machine for stand-up pouch filling. To achieve this goal a reliable sealing technology is mandatory and with Herrmann we found the right partner.”
The successful collaboration started with first welding trials in the Hermann laboratory. Pietro Santangelo, Regional Sales Director at Herrmann, was all the time the direct point of contact: “Especially in the early project phase, it is very important to perform detailed Ultrasonic sealing trials in our laboratory. This allows us to set up the best configuration for the given application together with the machine builder and the end customer.”
After the successful trials, the further development of the Ultrasonic sealing system continued on the IMA Fillshape test station. “Our test station allows us to test and verify the different sealing parameters under machine conditions with a maximum of flexibility”, explains Enzo Bocelli.
In a parallel step, the integration into the given package was realized. “Due to the compact machine package, this was very challenging”, so Pietro Santangelo. “But at the end, all efforts were successful thanks to the very close collaboration during the whole time between the whole IMA and Herrmann project team”.
Today IMA Fillshape offers with the Modula a high speed best-in-class rotary machine for stand-up pouch filling equipped with the proven Ultrasonic sealing technology and know-how from Herrmann Ultraschall. This combination allows the end customer or brand owner to produce at a maximum efficiency in their plant.
