Semi-Automatic Loading Systems For Trays/Frames Aseptic Processing

Machine overview

A real step forward in tray & frame vial loading

Although operator intervention is regulated strictly, it still is the main source of contamination.  IMA Life semi-automatic tray and frame loading/unloading system meets the highest industry standards for the aseptic operations, drastically reducing human intervention and minimising contamination risks.
The semi-automatic loading and unloading system is very similar to our fully automatic system. The difference lies in the transport of the vials from the infeed/outfeed (un)loading system to the lyophilizer. As with the fully automatic system, the semi-automatic solution fills the gap between aseptic filling and capping operations. It is suitable for cleanroom environments and pre-arranged for open RABS technologies.
