TWISTER Handling

Machine overview

Enhancing the quality of your products.

Twister is a gravity transfer system designed to transfer powders, granules, tablets and capsules from a bin docking station to a processing or packaging machine in dust-tight conditions. It ensures slow product descent, minimising powder/granule de-mixing or tablet/capsule damage as much as possible. 

Easily integrated with other equipment into solid dose processing lines, Twister allows product transfer in high containment and is highly flexible, typical of IMA Active handling systems.

Machine highlights

  1. De-mixing avoided 

    Slow product descent to avoid product de-mixing or damage. 

  2. Safe transfer

    Safety ensured by the double tube solutions. 

  3. Easy to clean

    Easy maintenance and cleaning thanks to accurate design and smooth finishing.

  4. Correct feeding

    Presence sensor to control the correct feeding of the product.

Double protection for maximum safety

Safety is ensured by the double tube solution: a disposable polyethylene liner is in contact with the product while a transparent rigid pipe protects the liner and improves product containment.
