Tablets & Capsules March/April 2021 35 Bilayer tablet press Prexima 800 bilayer tablet press produces as many as 1,044,000 tablets per hour. Machine's tableting zone is separated from its mechanical zone, reducing clean- ing time and preventing cross-contamination. Large doors provide full access to product-contact parts, while the lower zone stays enclosed unless maintenance is required. Four-column cast iron support structure provides stability during pre- and main compression, both of which can reach 100 kilonewtons. Press is equipped with the company's Xima control interface for improved operator efficiency. IMA North America, Leominster, MA 978 537 8534 www.ima.it Tablet press TPR 200 tablet press is a flexible unit suitable for small to large batches. Press can be configured with multiple turret options for seamless scale up from product development to full production, compressing as many as 230,000 tablets per hour. All turrets are the same size, allowing dwell time to be maintained across turret options and simplifying scale-up. Press also produces bilayer tablets and uses an independent monitoring system that ensures precise weight control of each layer and prevents cross-contamination of layers for clear delineation. Syntegon Pharma Technology, Minneapolis, MN 763 424 4700 www.syntegon.com Tablet press F30i double-rotary tablet press for large-batch operations produces up to 1.6 million tablets per hour. Press can perform bilayer tableting and is equipped with fast, first-layer sampling, which can be used to precisely monitor and regulate the tablet weight, minimizing product loss. Unit is designed for pharmaceutical production 4.0 and features dust-tight containment from the compression cham- ber through all equipment connections, preventing operator exposure. Features include HMI controls, a workflow wizard that guides the operator through stan- dard procedures, and a mobile app that allows real-time, location-independent monitoring of the production process. Fette Compacting, Rockaway, NJ 973 586 8722 www.fette-compacting-america.com R&D tableting equipment Korsch and Medelpharm R&D line of tableting equipment helps manufacturers overcome tableting challenges from early-stage powder characterization and formulation development to scale-up and production support. Equipment line includes machines for single-layer tableting, multilayer tableting up to five layers, and core coating as well as compaction simulators with integrated analytical soft- ware. XP 1 single-punch tablet press is suitable for small-batch production, while the XL 100 tablet press is ideal for development and clinical batch production. STYL'One Nano benchtop compaction simulator simplifies single-layer formu- lation development. STYL-One Evo advanced compaction simulator features multi-layer capability and facilitates R&D at production speeds. Korsch, Berlin, Germany Medelpharm, Lyon, France www.r-d-in-focus.com
