Deep Draw Thermoforming
Technology
Efficiency and flexibility in thermoformed tray packaging.
Tray packaging of parenteral products demands precise product handling and high flexibility in both feeding systems and machine set-up, to achieve maximum productivity using advanced thermoforming packaging machines. Backed by extensive experience, IMA offers a wide range of deep-draw thermoforming machine solutions capable of processing all forming material types.

Robotically
controlled systemsRobotically controlled systems developed in-house feed any parenteral product and accessory into the thermoformer. Solutions combining an advanced preheating system with the forming process provide uniform film thickness. Thanks to our fully in-house development of robotic systems, we offer standardised solutions for both product feeding and integration with cartoning. This not only ensures seamless system coordination but also simplifies operator training and enhances overall usability of each industrial thermoforming machine.

All-round
flexibilityIMA industrial thermoforming packaging machines are built to ensure all-round flexibility. This concerns not only the feeding area itself, which allows the product to be loaded either at the front or rear of the machine, but also via the connection with cartoning equipment, either directly inline or at a 90° layout.
If tray sealing is required, a sealing unit can be installed that guarantees uniform sealing pressure and offsets any irregular thickness in the materials. The cutting area provides excellent access and the unit is easily removable for size changeovers. The flexibility also encompasses the wide range
of products that can be fed into our plastic tray machine. These include syringes, cartridges, pens, autoinjectors, ampoules, bottles and presentations with different products and accessories in mixed configurations. -
