Tablet press for confectionery products
Optimize your confectionery production with a high-speed tablet press capable of shaping diverse sweets, from multi-layered lollipops to sugar-free gums, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in every batch.

Compresses and Shapes Confectionery Tablets
The PREXIMA series from IMA Group is a versatile line of tablet presses specifically designed for confectionery applications. This series delivers high-speed, continuous production of various confectionery products, including candies and chewing gums. PREXIMA machines feature robust structures capable of handling up to 100 kN of main compression force, ensuring precise tableting for diverse shapes and sizes by simply replacing the compression tooling. Its optimized motorization minimizes heating, facilitating low-temperature tableting without additional cooling devices. The machines offer excellent accessibility for easy inspection and maintenance, while sound-proof panels and anti-vibration feet maintain noise levels below 75 dB. Integration into your production line is seamless, whether as standalone units or inline setups for direct feed into packaging systems, with a compact footprint conveyed through a single exit chute. The exclusive MAX HMI enhances operator efficiency with improved predictability and responsiveness. Suitable for confectionery manufacturers, the PREXIMA series supports the production of a wide range of end-products such as mint-flavored tablets, multi-layered lollipops, and sugar-free chewing gums, catering to varied consumer preferences.
