industry innovations 36 July 2015 Tablets & Capsules Double-sided tablet press XT 600 double-sided tablet press provides high-volume produc- tion of single- and bi-layer tablets. Exchangeable turret offers flexibility to manufacture virtually any size and shape and maxi- mizes uptime. Press offers 60- or 100-kilonewton pre-compres- sion and main compression and includes compression dwell bar. Unit's carrier plate isolates vibration in the compression zone and minimizes noise. It has small footprint and ample access for cleaning, changeover, and turret exchange. Channels at machine's corners allow you to mount cables, lubrication lines, and dust extraction ports to maintain clean compression zone and streamline changeover. Smart-Touch operator interface with 19-inch display allows you to easily move, zoom, and scroll con- tent. Multi-media online help platform provides images, videos, drawings, and access to machine's manual to inform you about operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
