27th June, 13:20 – 13:50 Marco Preus Marco Preus is Aseptic Processing Sales Director for Asia-Pacific at IMA Life, a division of IMA S.p.A. and will hold a speech on: High-speed, advanced robotic solutions for Ready-To-Use components. The future of aseptic processing. Abstract: The demand for pre-filled syringes is continuously increasing, due to their convenience, precision and safety, reducing the risk of dosage errors and contamination during administration. INJECTA36 is the latest model developed by IMA Life, where engineers have managed to get the most out of robotic technology, resulting in the highest-speed, fully robotic filler, for pre-filled syringes and Ready-To-Use components. The use of robotically driven manipulations at all stages, from outer/inner bag-opening to the filling and stoppering station, allows for the smoothest production process, drastically reducing human intervention and cross-contamination risks. |

PREXIMA ensures optimal performance even with the most difficult-to-manage powders, keeping the tablet uniform in terms of weight and hardness.
[sustainability] =>
An in-depth evaluation has been carried out on different types of main motorisation to choose the one that provides the best performance, while always keeping an eye on energy saving in order to obtain high efficiency, maximum control, advanced diagnostic and reduction of consumption (elimination of motor cooling system). PREXIMA applies brushless motorisation to ensure energy efficiency while granting high machine performance.

PREXIMA 80 tablet press is designed for R&D applications and small scale production. In R&D configuration the machine offers wide range of tools to characterize the tablet; it furthermore offers flexibility on any tablet dimension, as the MIX turret fits four stations B and four station D. Mating this machine with IMAGO R&D software, available as an option, makes the ideal choice for R&D departments.
An equivalent machine model is available also for high containment installation in OEB 5 configuration.
PREXIMA 300 is the single side tablet press for medium production. Beside excellent accessibility, its clever design makes the turret removal quick thanks to the rotating arm completely housed inside the mechanical compartment, while the built-in electrical cabinet enables for an easier installation. Sturdy, efficient and flexible, it is available also for the production of big tablets up to 39 mm diameter.

The excellent accessibility which characterizes the PREXIMA series ensures a complete access to the process area all-around the machine. The construction of the machine is based on four columns linked together by two strong cast iron structures which directly support the four compression rollers from both sides. This ensures all the forces are transferred to the product to achieve the highest tablet compression and stability at maximal speed.
