With their combined solutions for the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries, IMA Pharma and IMA MED-TECH will be present at Pharmintech 2025.
Meeting the divisions at the show: IMA Active, advanced capsule filling and beyond
IMA Active, the ideal partner for every stage of solid oral processing, will be presenting ADAPTA 50, a cutting-edge capsule filling machine designed for maximum flexibility and precision. This highly versatile solution, available in multiple configurations, is engineered to handle complex product combinations in hard gelatine capsules, as well as the micro-dosing of powders for dry powder inhalers (DPIs). Thanks to its volumetric dosing system and linear motors for delicate handling, ADAPTA 50 ensures highly accurate fills without product compression. The compact dosing units, featuring specialized surface treatments, also enable seamless processing of even the most cohesive powders.
In addition, visitors will have the opportunity to explore the IMA Active Competence Center – a hub of excellence where over 50 years of expertise translate into tailored support, training, and consultancy. The Competence Center is dedicated to accelerating R&D, optimizing processes, and enabling advanced testing capabilities for the pharmaceutical industry.
IMA Life: aseptic processing and freeze drying solutions
IMA Life offers a comprehensive product portfolio for the processing of liquids and powders in both aseptic and non-aseptic environments.
Its solutions include washers, depyrogenation tunnels, complete filling and closing lines for liquids and powders in vials, bottles, and Ready-To-Use (RTU) containers, freeze dryers with automatic loading/unloading systems, isolation technologies, vial and carton labellers, as well as auxiliary equipment.
Following its world premiere at Achema 2024 and the recent display at Interphex NY 2025, IMA Life will showcase TILE-X, a revolutionary, fully gloveless solution for the filling and closing of small-batch Ready-To-Use production. Developed to comply with Annex 1 of the GMP guidelines, TILE-X is specifically designed for high-value products such as personalized medicines, Cell & Gene therapies, and ATMPs.
This modular concept handles a wide variety of RTU containers – syringes, vials, and cartridges – using electromagnetic motion technology to ensure precise, frictionless operation in a 100% gloveless environment. Both the filling nozzle changeover and the replacement of single-use microbial impactors are fully automated, ensuring maximum sterility and operator safety. TILE-X has just received the Biotech Innovation Award at Interphex NY 2025.
Also on display is HYPER, IMA Life’s next-generation top-of-the-line labelling machine. Prioritising performance, precision and flexibility, HYPER stands out as one of the most advanced labelling solutions on today’s market. Implementing brushless technologies, container positioning and label application are unbeatable. Moreover, HYPER handles almost any container type, material, shape and size, plus it applies plastic or paper labels and outserts. A key feature of this modular machine, which can be supplied stand-alone or line-integrated, is its ability to self-adjust working parameters.
This leads to increased productivity, which is also supported by the machine’s design enabling easy access and fast size changeovers. HYPER also features serialisation capabilities enabling Track & Trace for single containers, with the possibility of including overprinting devices and vision systems to read and check data.
IMA Safe: high-performance primary and secondary packaging solutions
Specialized in both primary and secondary packaging, IMA Safe designs and manufactures blister machines, capsule and tablet counters, sachet and stick pack machines, tube fillers, and cartoners. End-of-line solutions – including robotics, product handling, overwrapping, case packing, and palletizing – are provided by the End of Line Hub.
On display at the show is the C1290, the result of years of expertise in tube filling. This complete, fast, and user-friendly solution is engineered to maximize efficiency and productivity in a compact footprint.
Also featured is SAAS, an advanced vertical form-fill-seal (FFS) machine for suppository production. Designed for robustness and long-term reliability, SAAS stands out for its high production speed, low noise level, and full compliance with hygiene and safety standards.
Suppository sealing strip
Experts from the IMA End of Line Hub will also be present to showcase the latest solutions available to complete the packaging line. These include a wide range of options – from wrapping and bundling machines, case packers, palletizers and depalletizers, to advanced integrated systems featuring robotic solutions designed to deliver enhanced flexibility and efficiency.
IMA MED-TECH: medical assembly technologies
