Sterile bag filling and closing system
Ensure precision and sterility in multi-chamber bag filling for liquid and powder pharmaceuticals, enhancing your production line with high-speed, automated operations that minimize contamination risk.

Fills and Closes Sterile Bags for Pharmaceuticals
The SMART DB2 from IMA Group is a sterile bag filling and closing machine specifically engineered for pharmaceutical and biotech industries, tackling challenges in aseptic processing of liquids and powders. This advanced system automates the entire process, from loading and decontamination of sterile bags to precise filling and secure closing. Utilizing dosing disks for powders and mass-flow technology for liquids, it ensures accurate fills in multi-chamber, ready-to-use bags. With a throughput of up to 42 bags per minute, it supports high-volume production. Integrated CIP/SIP technology facilitates efficient in-place cleaning and sterilization, maintaining operational sterility and compliance with industry regulations. Advanced robotics minimize human intervention, while isolation technology protects sterility, making it ideal for manufacturing intravenous solutions, vaccine bags, and chemotherapy mixtures.
