LUMS Tableting

Machine overview

Take care of your tablets.

LUMS is the Lubrication Unit for Magnesium Stearate built by IMA and designed to handle a variety of lubricant powders. Flexible and accurate, it can be connected to all tablet presses, feeding a variety of lubricant powders directly over the die table by means of an atomizing system. 
The position of the lubricant nozzle makes it possible to uniformly coat all surfaces of the tablet press tools that are in contact with the powder.

Machine highlights

  1. Reliable tablet handling

    Efficient handling of effervescent tablets, ensuring smooth processing and maintaining product integrity.

  2. Reliable compression

    Easier compression of powders without the need for pre-blended lubricant, improving efficiency and simplifying production.

  3. Protective design

    Reduction of ejection forces to preserve cams and tooling, extending equipment life and ensuring consistent performance.

  4. Seamless integration

    Connects in-line with any IMA tablet press for a fully integrated process and real-time parameter control via the press HMI.

Precise lubrication, adaptable to every need

Accurate dosing of lubricant powders through auger speed adjustment, conveyed by compressed air to the spraying nozzle. Excess lubricant is removed by suction shroud, while augers of different sizes adapt to specific flow-rate requirements.
