Tablets & Capsules September 2018 29 Tooling and coatings I Holland PharmaGrade refined-steel tooling resists fatigue, abrasion, and corro- sion. Punches and dies accept enhanced chromium, chromium nitride, titanium nitride, or other PharmaCote coatings to decrease wear, increase corrosion resis- tance, and impart anti-stick properties. Other products include multi-tip tooling and tooling accessories, such as punch bellows, drip cups, universal seal grooves, rotating-head punches, and die-alignment tools. Company also offers tooling and tableting services to improve production, including a flexible online training pack- age that gives manufacturers the ability to train staff and manage specific require- ments and certification at their convenience. IPR, Bartlett, IL 630 823 4700 www.tablettingscience.com Bi-layer tablet press Prexima 800 bilayer tablet press pro- duces as many as 1,044,000 tablets per hour. Machine's tableting zone is sepa- rated from its mechanical zone, reduc- ing cleaning time and preventing cross-contamination. Large doors pro- vide full access to product-contact parts, while the lower zone stays enclosed unless maintenance is required. Turret removes easily in just 30 minutes, and automatic lubrication ensures that no oil drips from the punches. Four-column cast iron support structure provides stability during pre- and main compression, both of which can reach 100 kilonewtons. Press accepts D, B, BB, and BBS tooling and comes with a XIMA control interface.
