Robotic denesting system for Rtu vials
Streamline vial handling in aseptic environments with a fully robotised system that ensures precise denesting, filling, and stoppering, designed to enhance quality control for high-potent drug manufacturing.

Performs Vial Denesting and Aseptic Handling
The ROBOTIC D-NEST from IMA Group is a fully robotized vial handling system specifically engineered for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. It excels in precise denesting, filling, check-weighing, stoppering, and capping processes, ensuring sterility and high-speed handling in aseptic environments. With its six-axis robotic configuration, it integrates seamlessly into production lines, accommodating both upstream and downstream operations. Capable of handling sterile injectable and lyophilized drug vials, the system minimizes cross-contamination risks, meeting stringent GMP compliance. The compact design offers easy integration with existing isolators, enhancing space ergonomics and operational efficiency. Configurable for different vial sizes, it comes with CIP (Clean-in-Place) capabilities, facilitating thorough cleaning and maintenance.
