Fette Compacting America Fette Compacting America, Inc., the leading supplier of tablet press equipment for pharmaceutical and nutritional applica- tions, is located in Rockaway, New Jersey. A direct extension of Fette Compacting GmbH of Schwarzenbek, Germany, it was one of the first companies to develop and perfect the high- speed, rotary tablet press. Fette Compacting America offers complete services to clients in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, including new and used machine sales, technical assistance, and machine installations. Other products and ser- vices include training classes and seminars, laboratory trials, validation, maintenance, trouble-shooting and repairs, spare parts, and tooling. FEC40 Capsule Filler: World's Fastest Capsule Filling Machine This year, Fette entered a new pharma manufacturing sector when it introduced its first—and the world's fastest—capsule filling machine: the FEC40 Capsule Filler. The FEC40 has an output volume of up to 400,000 capsules per hour—nearly twice the production capacity of any other capsule filler on the market. The FEC40 accomplishes this elevated production bar in a remarkably small footprint, making machine reconfiguration due to floor space issues unnecessary. The extraordinarily high ratio of performance-to-footprint is made possible by Fette Compacting's patented Duplex Concept, which enables the FEC40 to feature a dual capsule filling process. The result is significant production savings—up to 30% per 1000 capsules. Innovative Tablet Presses Fette's premium family of tablet presses are headlined by its three-member FE Series: smallest to largest, the FE35, FE55, and FE75. The FE75 Tablet Press is a double-sided rotary press that can be equipped with up to 115 punch stations to produce more than 1.6 million tablets/hr. Ideal for producing large batches, the FE75's four compression rollers feature a special control system for direct compression, enabling the machine to operate with two intermediate pressures. The FE35 and FE55 tablet presses share several technologies with the FE75, includ- ing a new, patent-pending conical filling unit, a highly accurate manually adjustable filling table, innovative compression rollers, trouble-free tablet discharging through the column, a revamped operating terminal, and the connection of process equipment through a standardized plug-and-play interface. TRI.EASY Design Concept Fette machines embody the company's TRI.EASY design con- cept, based on the notion that technology's efficiency runs paral- lel to its ease of use during production, changeover, and mainte- nance. The Tri.Easy design focuses on the user and ensures trouble-free production irrespective of an operator's experience and qualifications.
