IMA will present its new continuous tablet coating equipment, CROMA, at this year’s Interpack.
IMA-CROMA
Continuous manufacturing is an innovation driver in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly for solid drugs. Through its collaboration with CONTINUUS Pharmaceuticals and its research and development team, IMA has taken steps towards continuous manufacturing.
CONTINUUS, a spin out of Boston MIT, operates in the development and implementation of continuous processes using new technologies. Its aim is to produce a final dosing form through combining primary pharmaceutical production (raw materials) and secondary pharmaceutical production, using new process technologies.
The research and development team, IMA Active, has started working on the continuous process by focusing on tablet coating. CROMA, the continuous tablet coating equipment, has been sized to work downstream of a medium-speed tablet press.
IMA will be exhibiting in Hall 17 A04–A30 at Interpack.
