IMA Life, the Aseptic Processing & Freeze-Drying Solution division of IMA Group, presented during last CPHI Barcelona exhibition, Injecta, a fill-finish machine for Ready-To-Use components. Winner of the Best in Show Award 2023 at Interphex NY, it is the latest solution from IMA Life, at the forefront of processing Ready-To-Use syringes, vials and cartridges.
The machine’s design exploits advanced robotic technologies to assure smooth processing of the tubs and components with minimal operator access to the working area. On show, visitors discovered Injecta’s fully integrated robotic module for the automatic pick-up and assembly of size parts required to adjust stoppering and filling parameters, according to recent Annex 1 updates. IMA’s experts introduced also KryoAir, a new 100% green refrigeration technology for freeze dryers using the ultimate natural refrigerant air. Other topic covered: IMA NoP (No-Plastic Program), one of the four pillars of IMA Zero, that promotes eco-friendly plastic substitutes for the packages manufactured on the Group’s machines. IMA Safe and IMA BFB introduced the new frontier of pharma green packaging and applications in terms of recyclable and biodegradable films, sustainable plastic materials and paper – just to name a few – which represent IMA’s concrete commitment to sustainability.
