The controls dilemma facing the pharmaceutical compression industry since
its infancy has been resolved by Courtoy’s engineers. Like all great solutions,
the answer is amazingly simple: physically separate the two control loops to
work on separate areas of the press. Weight is controlled at pre-compression
and hardness is controlled at main compression. As a result, weight and
hardness can be controlled simultaneously and continuously on a standard tablet
press. Yes, it is possible!
The Dual Control system is available as an option on the MODUL™ rotary
tablet press range.
It allows for independent monitoring and
control of tablet weight and tablet hardness. Thanks to the Dual Control
system, tablets can be manufactured under constant thickness or constant
hardness, without any influence on the superior weight control algorithm.
