The MODUL™ range perfectly illustrates Courtoy's status as the
most innovative rotary tablet press manufacturer. All MODUL™ tablet presses are
based on the revolutionary Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM)
concept. The ECM is completely isolated from the remainder of the
machine, contains all product contact parts and can easlily be removed from the
press in a contained way. This means that the press itself remains powder-free
and requires no cleaning.
Benefits of the MODUL™ tablet press
Improved Productivity
- Compression up to 50% faster for poor compressible products with Pneumatic
Compensator
- 10% - 20% faster turret speed
- Fast product change-over in 1 - 2 hours with Exchangeable Compression
Module (ECM)
- Less down time / process stops with Dual Control
- Up to 20% lower energy costs in operation
Superior Product, Personnel and Environmental
protection
Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM):
- Reduces risk of product contamination
- Reduces risk of 'cross' contamination
- Protects operator - 'dust free' in production area
- Wash-off-line (WOL) for more potent products
Superior Tablet Quality
Equal
Porosity Tabletting, unique to GEA Courtoy tablet press (independent weight and
hardness control)
High Yield
- 'Linear weight control', only offered by GEA Courtoy
- Less batch start up losses
- Less out of tolerance rejects
- Yield up 97% + with ECM and improved tablet quality
Extremely fast change-over:
Now serious savings in
the production cost of a tablet become reality. Where in the past tablet
presses were out of operation for 4 to 8 hours for cleaning (manual or WIP)
between product
change-over, Courtoy's Exchangeable Compression Module
allows full change-over in less than 1 to 2 hours. All product contact parts
are included in an isolated dust-tight module, which
is disconnected and
removed in minutes. Another clean isolated module with the right tooling is now
ready for use. Just connect it up and you are up and running again. The
cleaning activity is completely removed from the machine. Now you will use a
tablet press for what it is designed for - Making Tablets.
Immediate Result:
- Extremely short downtime - Very high overall productivity
- High flexibility: You can run different batches/products in one day
- The system is perfectly designed to process high potent products
The range of MODUL™ tablet presses:
- MODUL™
P for small-scale production and clinical trial batch
production
- MODUL™
S for medium-volume production
- MODUL™
D for high-volume production and bi-layer applications
NEW Innovations
Tomorrow's technology today
-
The
WOL-ECM (Wash Off-Line) and the very latest
addition to the ECM range.
-
The
bi-layer ECM for the MODUL™ P, illustrate Courtoy’s
constant drive to enhance its technological lead and to meet customers’
production and R & D needs.
-
Dual control principle - 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. The dual
weight/hardness control principle is integrated in the Multi-Control 4 (MC4)
and is available as an optional feature on the MODUL™ rotary tablet
press.
