Discover the new 2-rows Sombrero feeding system, now available on C40

What’s new

• Sombrero now available in 2 lanes, extending the range of feasible layouts and output requirements.
• C40 now equippable with Sombrero, expanding the feeding systems available on the machine.

IMA Safe expands its solid product infeed portfolio with a key upgrade: the Sombrero feeding system is now available in a 2-lane configuration, in addition to the established 1-lane and 3-lane setups. This new 2-row version broadens applicability to additional layouts and production needs, providing an optimized solution for medium-speed blister production.

Sombrero delivers the highest feeding performance within the IMA Group portfolio and is widely appreciated on the market for:

• High tolerance to product variability, allowing the system to handle tablets from different batches with minimal sensitivity to dimensional tolerances
• Broad product compatibility, supporting a wide range of oral solid doses, regardless of size, coating type, or consistency
• Full material flexibility, working seamlessly with both thermoforming and cold-forming materials
• No feeding interruptions caused by fragmented or broken tablets
• Ideal solution for containment, thanks to its continuous (“no-stop”) operation, reducing the need for operator intervention in the feeding area

This development is coupled with a second major update: C40 blister machine is now equippable with Sombrero. As a result, Sombrero becomes part of the available feeding options for C40, the machine widely known for its price – performance ratio within the IMA Group portfolio, combining attractive price point, compact footprint, layout versatility, and a versatile speed range.
