Tablet press for high containment environments
For handling potent compounds without compromising safety, a high-containment tablet press ensures operator protection and environmental compliance during tablet production.

Compresses and Contains High-Risk Pharmaceutical Tablets
The PREXIMA THC from IMA Group is a high-containment tablet press designed for pharmaceutical manufacturers dealing with potent or hazardous compounds. Specially engineered to compress tablets while ensuring operator safety, it features sealed doors, negative pressure zones, and glove ports for secure handling during operations. Its standout configuration flexibility, with a unique 8-station turret, supports both B and D tooling types, catering to a wide range of tablet sizes. The machine is ideal for producing paracetamol, ibuprofen, and anti-cancer drugs, among others. With a maximum output of 96,900 tablets per hour, the PREXIMA THC ensures efficient throughput. Equipped with the MAX corporate HMI, it enhances operator efficiency and process predictability. The machine’s robust construction ensures compliance with GMP standards and facilitates easy cleaning and maintenance with built-in cleaning ports. Its design supports integration into existing production lines, accommodating R&D, pilot, and high-speed production workflows.
