Unique & patented Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) concept applied to a small-scale tablet press - MODUL™ P

 

Galenic development:

Increased versatility – Increased safety
A special ‘development kit’ is available to work with a very small amount of powder and just a
single punch station if necessary.

Small-scale production:

Increased productivity – Increased flexibility
Small batches and short campaigns finally become economically justified thanks to a total
change-over time of just 100 minutes.

The ECM CONCEPT:

Exchangeable Compression Module
All parts in contact with the product, including the tooling, are encapsulated inside the closed ECM. The ECM is easily removed from the machine in a fast and contained manner, completely eliminating the need for cleaning of the inside of the press. This results in an extremely short
product change-over time: maximum 30 minutes for the tablet press; total change-over time down to as low as 100 minutes with 2 ECMs and duplication of peripherals. At the same time, a higher level of operator protection is achieved than on any conventional tablet press with a non-encapsulated exchangeable die table.

Overview:

  1. At each full cleaning of the machine, you easily gain several hours of production time. The contaminated ECM is exchanged for a clean one and production resumes immediately with the replacement ECM. The Wash-off-line cleaning of the used ECM involves no machine downtime!
  2. The MODUL™ P offers exceptionally high operator protection. Expensive and impractical isolators are no longer required.
  3. The machine has a number of features, which allow tabletting of small powder quantities with an optimal yield.

Tomorrow's technology today

Small-scale continuous bi-layer tablet production

Courtoy’s MODUL™ P, the smallest rotary tablet press in the MODUL™ range, is now available with an Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) for bi-layer tablet production. The MODUL™ P with bi-layer ECM is the first press to enter the market that enables continuous bi-layer tabletting on a small scale. It is the perfect solution to your bi-layer formulation development, clinical trial and other small-scale production needs.

The MODUL™ P with bi-layer ECM:

  • Enables continuous bi-layer tablet compression with a fully tooled turret Is able to produce up to 30.000 bi-layer tablets/hour
  • Can run with only 1 punch at 600 tablets/hour
  • Is available with mixed turret (10 B and 10 D stations)
  • Is available in Wash-off-line (WOL) execution for potent drugs
