IMA CYCLOPS

IMA CYCLOPS Bin tumbler

Versatility and high performance are the hallmarks of IMA Active’s bin tumblers. CYCLOPS ensures efficient mixing thanks to its 15° rotation axis while minimizing the need for tumbler decontamination.

IMA CYCLOPS is a bin tumbler designed for blending and homogenizing powders and granules for the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries. The machine can be installed through-the-wall for top-level GMP configuration and space saving in the processing area.

  • High productivity ensured by hermetically closed IBCs: different products can be blended without the need for decontamination.
  • “Trigon System” to completely block and blend a large series of bins without additional devices.
  • Dual blending inclination, with the rotation axis inclined also on the vertical plane, for difficult-to-blend products.
IMA TWINVALVE

IMA TWINVALVE High containment valve

No system can obtain the maximum Occupational Exposure Level without washing its valves. TWINVALVE combines IMA Active’s experience in powder handling and washing systems to ensure high containment.

IMA TWINVALVE is a reliable solution to handle powders, granules, tablets and capsules in high containment.

This patented system can be used as a standard butterfly valve on bins and can be easily retrofitted on existing powder handling plants allowing containment during powder transfer.

  • Simple design composed of two standard sanitary butterfly valves with an orbital rotating spray head.
  • Different cleaning cycles allowed: cleaning by compressed air and cleaning by water/solvent.
  • Drying phase by compressed air or steam performed at the end of the cleaning cycle.
IMA HERCULES

IMA HERCULES Column lifter

HERCULES is IMA’s latest generation of lifting columns. Available in three different models, HERCULES is equipped with the certified Blocstop™ system to ensure optimal safety with maximum resistance.

HERCULES lifting columns are designed for handling drums, containers, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs/Bins) and small machines like pneumatic conveyors, mills and calibrators.

The three models cover different ranges of useful capacity and are also available in the Mix version, combining lifting and blending.

  • Main motor positioned at the basement for easy maintenance.
  • Certified Blocstop™ to stop the lifting arm in case of failure.
  • Load cell weighing system to stop overload as an option.
IMA TWISTER

IMA TWISTER Transfer system

Flexibility is the hallmark of IMA Active’s handling systems. Easily integrated with other equipment into solid dose processing lines, TWISTER allows product transfer in high containment.

TWISTER is a gravity transfer system designed to transfer powders, granules, tablets and capsules from a bin docking station to a processing or packaging machine in dust-tight conditions. IMA TWISTER ensures slow product descent minimizing powder/granule de-mixing or tablet/capsule damaging as much as possible.

  • Slow product descent to avoid product de-mixing or damage.
  • Safety ensured by the double tube solutions.
  • Easy maintenance and cleaning thanks to accurate design and smooth finishing.
IMA BDS

IMA BDS Bag dumping station

Simple design, reduced dimensions, accurate finishing. These key features make BDS a versatile accessory for the optimisation of powder and granules handling in the pharmaceutical industry.

The IMA BDS Bag Dumping Station for powders or granules is designed for discharging bags and small containers in contained conditions, reducing the contamination level of the working environment. Thanks to its front port and bottom outlet in dust-tight conditions, BDS can be easily integrated with the loading and unloading devices of the Pharma Handling Systems.

  • Internal parts manufactured in AISI 316 stainless steel, mirror polished.
  • Easy cleaning thanks to smooth finishing without dead corners.
  • Large front opening to enable perfect accessibility during loading operations.
IMA CANGURO

IMA CANGURO Bin tumbler

Smart design, prime performance, enduring reliability. CANGURO’s compact GMP design makes blending smooth and highly efficient, achieving outstanding results with little maintenance.

CANGURO is a very compact bin tumbler designed for blending and homogenizing powders and granules.

The machine is equipped with an over-rotation feature for product leveling inside the IBC. The rotation speed can be adjusted according to specific requirements.

  • High productivity ensured by hermetically closed IBCs: different products can be blended without the need for decontamination.
  • Single arm frame for easy bin positioning and blocking.
  • Double 15° inclination angles for high-efficiency blending and over-rotation feature for product leveling inside the bin.
IMA BIN

IMA PH-BIN and PH-DRUM

Designed according to the most restrictive GMP requirements, PH-BIN and PH-DRUM ensure perfect efficiency with no product losses. Their large bending radius without dead corners avoids product residue and facilitates cleaning operations.

PH-BIN is designed for handling and blending powders and granules. Fitted with “Trigon” or “Aries” holding systems, it can be interfaced with the loading and unloading devices of the Pharma Handling Systems.

Also built in AISI 316 stainless steel, PH-DRUM is fitted with an upper lid complete with clamp connection to avoid product dispersion.

  • Perfect efficiency ensured by rectangular cross section and inclination of the upper part of PH-BIN.
  • Spider version available: its reduced volume compared to standard bins ensures great flexibility and the processing of small batches.
  • T-Bin available to handle capsules and tablets: its decentralized loading lid simplifies product loading operations.
IMA SWIFTLIFT

IMA SWIFTLIFT Tablet elevator

The IMA Swiftpack SWIFTLIFT Tablet Elevator has been designed to transport product from a floor mounted hopper to a tablet counter, blister packing machine or similar.

The machine is constructed in stainless steel with specification in accordance with the latest requirements for GMP. It can be completely dismantled for cleaning without the use of tools.

  • 100 liter product hopper. Larger sizes are available.
  • Vibratory feed system with chip sieve and dust extraction points.
  • Single elevator bucket with auto level detection.
