MODUL™ Tablet Presses

MODUL S Tablet Press

Compression with ECM technology for high throughput and fast changeover applications.

Today's pharmaceutical industry is facing two major challenges. On the one hand, the production cost per tablet needs to be reduced to the absolute minimum, without compromising quality. On the other hand, the operator needs to be protected from increasingly potent drugs. Uniting exceptional productivity and practical at-the-source containment in one revolutionary concept, the MODUL S with ECM technology solves both these issues.

The ECM Concept

The revolutionary MODUL rotary tablet press has an Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM), which allows full change-over in as little as 30 minutes. All product contact parts are contained in an ISOLATED DUST-TIGHT module, which can be disconnected and removed from the machine in a contained manner, leaving the tablet press itself powder-free. A second isolated module, cleaned and prepared off-line, can now be installed and the machine is ready to produce the next batch.  

Dual Control for Flexibility and Performance

The MODUL S is the high output version of the MODUL P. It is a larger, heavier machine that benefits from the Standard Dual Control system that allows tablet weight, hardness and dwell times to be controlled to meet operational requirements. The larger turret on the MODUL S also provides a longer feeder length to achieve optimal residence times during die filling, especially for products that do not flow well. This helps to reduce capping at very high throughput levels.

Features

MODUL™ S tablet press

  • Standard ECM or Wash-off-Line ECM
  • Tablet weight and hardness control
  • High sensitivity weight control for small tablets and those requiring low compression forces
  • Latest HMI for complete process control, including peripherals, for lights-out operation.

Benefits

  • Fast product changeover, improved productivity, cross-contamination prevention and a safe working environment
  • High throughput of up to 374.000 tablets/h
  • Reduced risk of capping and lamination
  • Extended dwell time at pre-compression.
