Prexima Tableting

Machine overview

All our skills. Compressed.

Powered by IMA Active’s knowledge of the sector, designed with unique Italian style, built to deliver top-level performance, Prexima drives productivity to a higher level of efficiency. It ensures optimal performance even with the most difficult-to-manage powders, keeping the tablet uniform in terms of weight and hardness. Available in three models, Prexima handles all production volumes, guarantees waste reduction, and uses advanced machine learning functions for efficient self-adjustment of process parameters, keeping performance on target and allowing single-product rejection.

Machine highlights


  1. Process area isolation

    Isolation of the processing area, thanks to the use of specially designed seals and protections.


  2. Excellent accessibility

    Ensures straightforward operations, easy inspection and cleaning.


  3. Quick turret removal

    Quick turret removal with step-by-step guidance provided by MAX, the new corporate HMI. Its intuitive interface plays a strategic role in improving operator efficiency, ensuring prompt responsiveness, enhanced predictability, and easy learning.


  4. Sturdy structure

    Ensures both pre-compression and main compression forces up to 100 kN.


  5. Optimised lubrication

    No oil dripping from upper punches and no black spots on tablets.


  6. Low noise level

    Sound-proof panels and anti-vibration feet keep the noise level below 75 dB.

Engineered for silence: delivering smooth and silent operation

Tested at the anechoic chamber at the University of Ferrara (Italy) to select the best technical solution and sound-proof materials, Prexima minimises vibrations.

Machine versions

Prexima 80

Prexima 80 tablet press is designed for R&D applications and small scale production. In R&D configurations the machine offers a wide range of tools to characterise the tablet. Furthermore, it offers flexibility for any tablet size, as the turret can fit four stations B and four stations D. Mating this machine with IMAGO R&D software, available as an option, makes the ideal choice for R&D departments. An equivalent machine model is available also for high containment installation in OEB 5 configuration.

Prexima 300

PREXIMA 300 is the single side tablet press for medium production. Beside excellent accessibility, its clever design makes the turret removal quick thanks to the rotating arm completely housed inside the mechanical compartment, while the built-in electrical cabinet enables for an easier installation. Sturdy, efficient and flexible, it is available also for the production of big tablets up to 39 mm diameter.

Prexima 800

Prexima 800 is the double sided tablet press for high production and is suitable also for bilayer tableting. The excellent accessibility which characterizes the Prexima series ensures complete access to the process area all-around the machine. Machine construction features four columns connected by two strong cast iron structures which directly support the four compression rollers from both sides. This ensures all the forces are transferred to the product to achieve the highest tablet compression and stability at maximal speed.
