Innovation, Integration and the New “Sound of Pharma”
Interpack 2026 will be the ideal stage for IMA Pharma divisions to demonstrate how its All-In-One approach is shaping the future of solid dose manufacturing, sterile processing, medical device assembly and pharmaceutical packaging.
In the realm of solid dose processing, IMA Active will highlight major developments in direct compression and continuous coating, alongside several core technologies. The PERPETUA Continuous Direct Compression line with the DOMINA 500 tablet press will demonstrate a future-oriented approach to Continuous Manufacturing, ensuring fast startup, minimal waste and consistent product quality.
ACCELA CTC 1000 by IMA Thomas will display high throughput, waste-free coating up to 1200 kg/h thanks to its new advanced loading design. Alongside these solutions, the ADAPTA 50 capsule-filling machine will demonstrate precise dosing, flexible adjustment and 100% net weight control, processing up to 50,000 capsules/hour.
At Interpack 2026, the configuration for DPIs production will be showcased.
On the sterile processing front, IMA Life will showcase the high-speed INJECTA 36 fill-finish line integrating the new DETECTA inspection unit, NEBULA, the high throughput decontamination tunnel, and, for the first time ever, the TILE-X line – our gloveless platform implementing electromagnetic levitation for high-value drug product processing in small batches.
Each TILE-X module fulfils a single process phase for RTU components, generating zero particulate with its frictionless component handling. De-lidding/ de-nesting, filling with 100% check-weighing, stoppering and capping. Innovations in freeze-drying technologies will be presented by our Lab4Life team, with a focus on new-generation refrigerants and rapid nucleation.
A quick stop at the IsoTech Corner will also offer insight into our latest developments: designed for VPHP bio-decontamination cycles used in isolators, IMA VPHP BioIndicator is a brand-new solution ready to accompany our Microbiological Support Services.
Completing the portfolio, SWIPE, the labelling solution for RTU components, highlights our ability to tailor cutting-edge technologies to evolving pharmaceutical traceability needs. More from the labelling scene – this time for cartons – our renewed SENSITIVE AP400 CW platform offers the widest range of functions, printing capabilities and T&T compliance.
Packaging innovations by IMA Safe will include the GIANT1-A80 line with a new connection and predisposed for an integrated blister-overturning module, enabling blister interlocking to reduce carton size and drastically lower material consumption, a concrete step forward in sustainable packaging, while also allowing blister flipping for enhanced flexibility in carton formats, as well as a bypass mode.
The highspeed GIANT5-A96 line, reaching up to 1300 blisters/min, will run with mono-PET film and will be the platform for the debut of IMA’s breakthrough robotic line-clearance system, where a single smart camera managed by a cyber-dog inspects the entire line to streamline the workflows.
Completing the portfolio, SAAS 2 vertical form-fill-seal machine for suppositories, VERTICARE P vertical cartoner for parenterals and the versatile G-BLOK for bottle and jar filling and closing with puck configuration, now in a new design, demonstrating flexibility and modularity across diverse pharma and personal care formats and pack styles.
The latest PRIMEWRAP overwrapping machine launched by IMA BFB highlights its versatility as a solution for both cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, delivering consistently high-quality and precise wrapping.
Its versatility allows the handling of both single packs and bundles, ensuring excellent pack integrity and appearance. PRIMEWRAP supports a wide range of overwrapping materials, including renewable and compostable cellulose films and other compostable solutions, enabling sustainable packaging options without compromising performance.
Medical devices will play a prominent role as well with IMA MED TECH, introducing its new modular concept for autoinjectors, pens and inhalers. ASSEMBLA, the engineer-to-order platform scaling up to 500 ppm, will demonstrate its versatility across injectables, inhalers, diagnostics, ophthalmic devices and NextGen wearables.
The range will also include X-PEN for standard pens and autoinjectors (up to 160 ppm) and X-PEN LAB for early-stage batches (up to 20 ppm), reinforcing a unified and scalable approach from R&D to full-scale commercial assembly.
Digital innovation will form another key pillar of IMA’s presence. Visitors will see AI-powered support tools, guided conversational assistance, real-time machine monitoring and robotic integrations involving humanoids and cyber-dogs: a preview of the next generation of intelligent, connected manufacturing.
At the heart of this ecosystem is the All-In-One Pharma philosophy: a single supplier capable of delivering fully integrated solutions across the entire value chain, enabling smoother project execution, faster validation and long-term operational efficiency.
This philosophy has inspired “Sound of Pharma”, the new communication concept that will be unveiled at Interpack. Like a symphony, where harmony emerges from perfectly coordinated instruments, Sound of Pharma expresses the vision of technologies, expertise and people coming together as one unified whole.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU TO INTERPACK, HALL 17!
