Rotary capping machine for aseptic products
Ensure precision sealing for aseptic liquid formulations with a solution engineered to minimize air turbulence and contamination while maintaining flexibility and ease of use.

Caps, Seals, and Crimps Aseptic Products
The STERICAP from IMA Group is a rotary aseptic alu-capping machine engineered to deliver precise capping and sealing for pharmaceutical applications, including biopharmaceuticals and sterile injectable drugs. Integrating seamlessly into your packaging line, it handles low to medium-speed operations with an output of up to 300 vials per minute. This machine features a very low particle generation system to minimize contamination risks and is equipped with 3 or 6 capping heads based on requirements, handling everything from traditional aluminum caps to sophisticated closures like add-vantage and bio-set. Control functions ensure precision with 100% measurement of compression forces, and integrated camera systems allow comprehensive data reading and inspections. The use of a pneumatic circuit maintains constant vertical force while the Siemens PLC and user-friendly control panel facilitate seamless operation. Constructed for durability and minimal maintenance, the STERICAP complies with industry demands for reliability and efficiency in sterile environments.
