R&D tablet press NP-RD20 single-station, semi-automatic R&D tablet press produces single- and multi-layer tablets in small quantities to conduct tests and simulate dwell time and compaction of pro- duction presses. Press minimizes product loss during formu- lation development and speeds scale-up. Color touch-screen lets you program tabletting, including pre-compression para- meters and dwell time. Data acquisition system lets you collect and track test results, including compression curve and tablet elasticity. Changeover is fast; press accepts TSM and EU tool- ing in sizes B, D, and F in standard, core rod, or multi-tip con- figurations. Unit is CE-compliant runs on 110 or 220 volts.

Two-stage closed feeding system prevents powder from escaping feed shoe to eliminate cross contamination. Powder does not re-circulate around die table, and units are equipped with vacuum ports to keep interior clean. Hata three-layer tablet press with interchangeable turret allows multi-layer tabletting and precise core alignment for tablet-in-tablet man- ufacture. Unit's mechanical assembly is customized to suit your core tablet's size and shape. Company also offers spare parts and installation, service, and technical support. Elizabeth, McKeesport, PA.
