IMA Practica-100 Capsule Filling Machine

Used IMA Practica-100 Capsule filling Machine (Dust Collector Vac Pump Change parts 100 w0/00)

High-tier unit widely utilized in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production for high-accuracy hard gel encapsulation.

Service Voltage :480 VAC / 3-Phase / 60 Hz

Batch Capacity:Rated for up to 1,000 lbs (~450 to 530 kg)depending on tablet bulk density.

Pneumatics:Requires a nominal 110 PSI (120 PSI max) supply for the spray bar atomization.

Electrical:Dual incoming circuits:

Main Power: 460V / 3 Phase / 60 Hz (14A total / 10A largest load) for the drum drive VFD.

Control Power: 120V / 1 Phase / 60 Hz (14A total / 10A largest load) for PLCs and safety interlocks.

Rated Current :26 A

Short Circuit Capacity :5 kA

Core Technical Capabilities

Production Output:Capable of reaching speeds up to 100,000 capsules per hour.

Capsules Per Cycle: 12 capsules per stroke.

Dosing Versatility:Designed for single-product dosing of powders, granulates, or pellets. It utilizes IMA's precise dosator and rotary bowl technology, which is highly regarded for handling difficult, poor-flowing powders (like probiotics, sports supplements, or pure herbal extracts) with minimal rejects.

Capsule Size Range:Accommodates capsule sizes from 5 up to 00EL, 000, and DB (dependent on the specific change parts/tooling kit installed).

cGMP & Ergonomic Layout: Features a strict physical separation between the upper processing compartment and the lower mechanical drive zone to eliminate powder migration and ease validation.

Rapid Changeovers:Designed for tool-less format/size changes using Poka-Yoke alignment parts, significantly reducing downtime compared to traditional tamping-pin machines.

Control System: Typically runs on IMA's 21 CFR Part 11 compliant HMI interface (XIMA or MAX platform) for data integrity and recipe tracking.
