4 XTREMA INNOVATIVE DESIGN Differential pumps Peristaltic pumps HIGHLY INNOVATIVE DESIGN DETAILS harmonized with the extreme ergonomics of the machine result in improved cleanliness and ease of accessibility. A key focus of XTREMA s design is the great flexibility that the machine can offer due to the possible integration of modular equipment, providing the adaptability and customization that pharmaceutical companies need when developing new production concepts. ANTROPOMORPHIC ROBOTIZED NOZZLE CARRIER To fulfil the latest cgmp regulations and requirements for isolation integration, all mechanical movements should not come in-andout of the grey area, in order not to contaminate the product being processed and to reduce the risk of leaks. The IMA Life anthropomorphic robotized nozzle carrier fully responds to this design requirement: similar to the human body motions, the fluid of the motion ensures as well, no vibrations and gentle handling of the vials. The nozzle carrier motion is driven by servo motor offering high flexibility in filling operations.

5 XTREMA DOSING SYSTEMS INNOVATIVE VOLUMETRIC DIFFERENTIAL PUMPS NEW MATERIALS COMBINED WITH REVOLUTIONARY ASSEMBLY TECHNIQUES Volumetric, differential dispensing pumps, suitable for CIP/SIP, based on a new design concept. The filling pumps are equipped with a QUICK FIT revolutionary type of assembly technique, which allows a very easy fitting and dismantling of the pumps without tools, and without touching the product contact parts. Thanks to the new cgmp design (exclusively for IMA Life), and Mass flow dosign system the outer shell in plastic material the pumps are also very light to handle and particularly ergonomic. XTREMA can be equipped with other filling systems typical of the aseptic operations such as: - time / pressure - peristaltic pumps - disposable filling units - mass flow All these systems can be assembled on the same support and changed according to the product to be handled and the stored recipes. The change from peristaltic to volumetric filling system is simply carried out by HMI. The assembly is simple and quick with lock/unlock system by HMI. XTREMA CAN BE EQUIPPED WITH CIP/SIP SYSTEMS, PARTICULARLY ADVANCED AND EFFECTIVE, PROVIDED WITH PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC CYCLE, WITH NO NEED FOR COMPONENT REMOVAL. IDEAL FOR APPLICATIONS IN ISOLATION TECHNOLOGY.

XTREMA VIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM SPEED AND FLEXIBILITY: AN INNOVATIVE VIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM The transport system is linear and positive and allows the conditioning of vials in multi-pocket dowels, which

The multi-pocket dowels are attached to the carrier system and are very easy to dismantle without tools assuring a very quick size change-over and extreme cleanliness of transport mechanism.

6 XTREMA VIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM SPEED AND FLEXIBILITY: AN INNOVATIVE VIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEM The transport system is linear and positive and allows the conditioning of vials in multi-pocket dowels, which allocate several vials, reducing, in this way the number of dowels to be changed over. The multi-pocket dowels are attached to the carrier system and are very easy to dismantle without tools assuring a very quick size change-over and extreme cleanliness of transport mechanism. The dowels are made of a special plastic material which enables direct exposure to the sterlization gas agent. To reduce particle generation the vials are positively transported on the st.st. belt throughout the whole machine length without friction of the vial bottom. Vial puck quick change over The containers are gently transported throughout the machine up to the stoppering station. The new linear transport conveyor runs vertically, as well as all the other component movements. This helps the unidirectional air flow over the entire machine and therefore on the vial mouths. The round design of the anthropomorphic arm also assures a vertical air flow and no turbulence.

8 XTREMA IN PROCESS CONTROL OF FILLING VOLUME 100% IPC Check-Weighing System BUILT-IN VERSATILITY WITH SOPHISTICATED IPC SYSTEM The Total Ipc system for distributed volume is based on the dual potentiality offered by the machine to select the vial transport motion according to the required production: high-speed at continuous motion and low to medium speed at intermittent motion. The XTREMA offers the possibility to fill at high-speed and simultaneously achieve 100 % check-weighing sampling of an alternate filler with a rate of 400 Vpm, the highest available on the market. The selection from continuous to alternate motion is automatic by HMI. The IPC system removes the vials in batches from the conveyor system for tare and gross check-weighing and then feeds the vials back into the empty dowels. If a deviation in the filling volume is detected, the PC feedback software automatically adjusts the dosing unit. The Total Ipc system is of course also available on the intermittent motion machines up to 400 vpm. Available for the Intermittent motion or Intermittent/Continuous configurations High speed: up to 400 vpm - Tare and Gross check with 6 loading cells each station Detail of load cell Time saving: reduced accumulation of vials at machine downstream. A so called periodic check can also be achieved on this machine version when it s necessary to check only a pre-defined number of vials (typically at batch start and at batch end). The number of vials to check is entered directly on the HMI. During the rest of the production the machine works at the highest speed. Overall accuracy of the system in working conditions is +/ mg.
