GEA Pharma Systems has introduced the Courtoy™ MODUL™ P Tablet Press to meet
the demand for increased flexibility and product containment when working with
potent compounds, especially with regards to small scale tablet
presses.
The MODUL™ Tablet Press concept has been on the
market for a few years. It is a well accepted design and concept that is
featured in more than 70 installations.
Key elements of the
design include:
The ease of removing the Exchangeable Compression
Module (ECM) from which the product cannot escape. This eliminates the need to
clean the inside and outside of the press and the room. Which results in
increased operator safety and a reduction in cleaning time of up to
50%.
The ECM for the MODUL™ P is available for all tooling types and
more importantly, it serves various applications. These include a dust tight
ECM down to 10 mcgr/m3 for single layer tableting, a washable ECM down to 0.5
mcgr/m3 for single layer tableting, a dust tight ECM down to 10 mcgr/m3 for
bi-layer tableting and a washable ECM down to 0.5 mcgr/m3 for bi-layer
tableting.
An important feature of the MODUL™ P is that the basic
machine remains the same; only the selection of the ECM is required. Unlike
other presses the MODUL™ P can be turned into a single layer, a bi-layer
machine or even a completely contained press with wash-off-line capability;
just by changing the ECM.
In addition, the MODUL™ P Compression
Technology allows for full control of the compression profile at pre and main
compression. This enables the user to use any kind of tooling and still
maintain the same dwell time as pre-set in the control system independent of
the rotation speed of the turret. This significant advantage enables the MODUL™
P to replicate every known tablet press as well as an easy scale-up and the
ability to compress each individual tablet to the same hardness.
