With Exchangeable Die Disc for conventional dies and Die Shells
The NEW PERFORMA™ P is the latest addition to GEA
Pharma Systems - Courtoy’s innovative range of rotary tablet presses for the
pharmaceutical & nutraceutical industries. The PERFORMA™ P is derived from
the well-known MODUL™ P machines and features two exclusive novel
technologies: the Exchangeable Die Disc EDD (patent pending)
and Die Shells
DS (patent pending).
The PERFORMA™ P is ideally suited for long campaigns and
large batches. Therefore, it is the perfect complement to the MODUL™ presses,
which are the choice solution for small batch / frequent product change-over
tabletting facilities.

The benefits of the EDD and DS include:
- Increased machine output - offering unmatched
productivity. A larger pitch diameter (compared to machines with a similar
footprint), in combination with the novel “Die Shells” instead of conventional
dies (optional), results in a large number of punch positions on the turret and
consequently a high instantaneous machine output.
- Increased yield - through a combination of an
exclusive new dust extraction system, a feeder with slide-in wear plate and the
innovative “Die Shells”, powder losses are
reduced to the very minimum.
- Flexibility in tooling type - the exchangeable turret
enables a quick and easy change-over between tooling standards (EU or TSM) and
various types (D, B or BBS) of punches and dies.
- Fast format change-over - the innovative “Exchangeable Die
Disc” or “EDD” concept allows exchanging all the punches and dies of the
machine in less than 30 minutes - both for round and shaped tablets.
- Superior process control and tablet quality - The
PERFORMA™ P is equipped with the same advanced process control features as the
MODUL™ tablet presses, such as
accurate tablet weight control based on displacement measurement, on-line
monitoring of standard deviation in tablet weight, “Dual Control” and “Equal
Porosity Tabletting”.
