Powder filling and stoppering for antibiotic production
Tackle antibiotic resistance with precision powder filling and stoppering, ensuring accurate doses and seamless integration into your high-speed production line.

Fills and Stopps Pharmaceutical Powders
The SMART PWD from IMA Life is a specialized powder filling and stoppering machine designed for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. It features a vacuum-pressure powder filling system capable of dosing up to two different pharmaceutical powders into a single vial with precision. Its unique capability addresses the manufacturing challenges of handling complex powders like amoxicillin and linezolid. The machine operates at speeds of up to 120 vials per minute in high-speed, continuous operations, ensuring efficient processing and reduced operational downtime. Its integration capabilities include a pick and place stoppering system, possible capping station addition, and suitability for aseptic environments enhanced by its cRABS containment technology. The SMART PWD is engineered for compliance with GMP and supports full integration into processing and packaging departments, equipped with a 100% check-weighing system to ensure dosage accuracy. Maintenance is streamlined with features allowing wet-cleaning in place, minimizing contamination risks and supporting efficient production transitions.
