Injecta 36 Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

Single detection, single rejection

Injecta 36 is a fine-tuned solution to enhance aseptic fill-finish capabilities and maximise processing line performance. Handling up to 36,000 RTU components per hour, in particular syringes, the system adopts innovative robotic and automation technologies. The use of advanced robotic-driven manipulations versus conventional handling systems actually improves product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Injecta 36 handles pre-sterilised Ready-To-Use containers (syringes, vials or pre-capped cartridges) pre-arranged in tubs, allowing high process flexibility and adaptability. 

Specialised robots perform all handling activities with no glass-to glass contact and without operator intervention. The result is “less time” spent validating aseptic conditions and superior agility for multi-product manufacturing.

The highest accuracy and safety in plunger presence detection and single non-conformity rejection are ensured by Detacta, IMA Life’s ultimate high-speed inspection unit, which can be integrated downstream of Injecta 36.
