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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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”.
