The Courtoy MODUL™ rotary tablet press is now available with the enhanced
tablet production control principle allowing for simultaneous, yet independent,
control of both tablet weight and hardness.
The “dual weight/hardness control” principle
When using
Displacement for Tablet Weight Control, the final compression station is only
used to give the tablet its final Hardness and hence Thickness. The Dual
Control option adds a second control loop for constant tablet hardness at the
final compression.
After the press has been set-up for automated weight
control and the operator has verified the tablet hardness, the second control
loop will keep the final compression force constant. Force variations will be
adjusted by repositioning the compression rollers within pre-set product limits
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.
