Seamless line integration
IMA’s suppository technology is conceived as part of a complete solution. The suppository filling machines seamlessly integrate with both upstream process equipment and downstream cartoning and end-of-line systems, ensuring a smooth and fully connected production flow. In particular, the connection with the cartoning machine guarantees that suppository strips are carefully piled and inserted into cartons, preserving their shape and aesthetics all the way to the final package.
