Handling plays an essential role
in integrated manufacturing

Handling plays an essential role in integrated manufacturing lines as the glue that holds the line together, managing synergically the array of different machinery. No less important from a technological point of view, handling affects most of the processing and packaging stages, and optimum industrial handling solutions will ensure safety and generate efficiency. On the one hand, handling technologies guarantee smooth production workflow, especially in the field of Continuous Manufacturing, a growing trend within the pharmaceutical sector. On the other hand, smart handling solutions and automation will drive efficiency and contribute to final product quality. Compact systems and robotic solutions ensuring flexibility and accuracy, combined with a smart design concept, enhance line performance. Tailored to the needs of a specific market or built to customer requirements, IMA handling technologies are robust, reliable solutions for safe, sustainable performance.

  1. Handling


    Pharma

    IMA offers a complete range of handling systems for pharmaceutical manufacturing, including dispensing and feeding systems, GMP-compliant bins and drums, tumblers, lifting columns, and high-containment valves. Designed for ease of use and safe product handling, these solutions integrate seamlessly into solid dose processing lines. Innovative connection systems ensure maximum efficiency for a wide variety of both standard and high-potency products, and can be retrofitted to existing installations.
    The range features a gravity transfer system moving powders, granules, tablets and capsules from an existing bin docking station to a processing or packaging machine in dust-tight conditions. Slow speeds minimise de-mixing risks or product damage.

  2. Handling


    Coffee

    Built to meet each customer’s specific needs and production requirements, IMA has developed the most comprehensive range of tailor-made solutions for green coffee reception, cleaning, conveying and storage systems. Each coffee handling system is carefully engineered talking into account the facility layout, while meeting key criteria such as energy efficiency, productivity, and safety — all while ensuring maximum coffee integrity and compliance with the highest hygienic design standards.
