The MODUL P tablet press provides similar performance and control characteristics to its PERFORMA cousin – with one essential difference: the ECM. The MODUL P is ideally suited for formulation development, clinical trial production and small-batch / multi-product production. The extremely short changeover time offered by the MODUL P results in a tremendous increase in productivity, especially when the production schedule involves a succession of many small batches.

Small-scale Production

The MODUL P features the unique Exchange Compression Module (ECM) for standard and high containment applications. The ECM encloses all product-contact parts in a sealed unit and can quickly and easily be removed from the machine in a contained manner for cleaning and replaced with a pre-prepared unit to allow production to resume in 30 minutes.

Small-scale Continuous Bi-layer Tablet Production

The MODUL P is also available with an Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) for bi-layer tablet production. The MODUL P with bi-layer ECM is the first press to enter the market that enables continuous bi-layer tableting on a small scale. It is the perfect solution to your bi-layer formulation development, clinical trial and other small-scale production needs.

Features

Standard or Wash-off-Line ECM
Single and bi-layer capabilities in dust-tight and washable execution
Choice of different compression modes (force control, dual control and advanced dual control)
High sensitivity weight control for small tablets and those requiring low compression forces
Dual reject feature
Latest HMI for complete process control, including peripherals, for lights-out operation.

Benefits

Fast product changeover, improved productivity and a safe working environment.
Extended dwell time at pre- and main compression without any loss of linear speed.
Individual control of tablet hardness.
Flexible operation for small-medium. production and R&D operations with seamless scale-up.
Medium throughput of up to 244.800 tablets/h.

Bi-Layer Capability

A bi-layer ECM is available for the MODUL P, adding to the versatility of the smallest machine in the MODUL range.

The MODUL P with bi-layer ECM enables continuous bi-layer tableting on a small scale. It is the machine of choice for bi-layer formulation development, clinical trial production and any other small-scale production needs.

Features & Benefits

The MODUL P with bi-layer ECM:

Enables continuous bi-layer tablet compression with a fully tooled turret.
Is able to produce over 80.000 bi-layer tablets/hour.
Can run with only one punch position in use, minimizing the tooling investment cost, as well as the powder quantities required for R&D.
Is available with mixed turret (10 B and 10 D stations).
Is available in WOL execution for working with highly potent substances.
