Automated Packaging Machinery in Pharmaceutical Processing

ALLPACK Indonesia 2026 takes place from 20 to 23 October 2026 at JIExpo Kemayoran in Jakarta, Indonesia, presenting processing, packaging, automation, and handling technologies for the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors. Hosted by local partner PT. ITA MAS INDO at Booth DM023, IMA demonstrates packaging machinery and processing systems developed across its IMA Active, IMA Life, IMA Safe, and IMA Ilapak divisions.

Core Technology and System Architecture
The technical presentation centers on the VEGATRONIC 6000 DZ continuous vertical form-fill-seal system from IMA Ilapak. The packaging machine employs automated kinematic motion controls to form, fill, and seal pouches at elevated operational speeds. Its mechanical structure accommodates varying film substrates and pouch geometries through rapid-change modular sealing assemblies, stabilizing cycle rates and maintaining hermetic seal integrity across demanding packaging schedules.

Deployment or Implementation
The processing and packaging solutions deploy directly within modern continuous production lines or cleanroom configurations. PT. ITA MAS INDO provides localized technical integration, lifecycle support, and field engineering across regional installations. The modular architecture interfaces with upstream manufacturing assets, including granulation, tableting, and liquid handling equipment, as well as downstream inspection, blister packaging, and secondary case packing lines.

Industry Applications
The system addresses throughput constraints and format transitions within pharmaceutical manufacturing, cosmetic production, and food processing lines. Processing operations requiring continuous pouching frequently face downtime risks and sealing degradation when alternating between delicate product categories or varied packaging barriers. The engineering approach stabilizes pouch-forming dynamics and prevents product cross-contamination during primary packaging stages.

Operational Impact and Performance Metrics
Integrating continuous vertical form-fill-seal machinery increases line speed and stabilizes material throughput across packaging cells. Mechanical repeatability minimizes package rejection rates and limits material scrap during roll changes and high-speed runs. By combining solid processing, aseptic filling, blister sealing, and primary bagging systems under coordinated partner support, manufacturing facilities maintain equipment availability and optimize total packaging line efficiency.
