Tablets & Capsules September 2015 21 Double-sided tablet press FE75 double-sided tablet press accepts as many as 115 punch stations to produce more than 1.6 million tablets per hour. Its four compression rollers can be configured to operate with two intermediate pressures. Pneumatically controlled tablet scrapers apply constant surface pressure, minimizing product loss. Conical filling units allow accurate, easy processing of complex mixtures. Separate lubrication of punch head and punch shaft coupled with closed cam-track assembly reduce contamination. Tubeless extraction unit with fixed-position connection speeds installation during changeover and cleaning. Turret changeover is automated and requires no tools. Two-part frame and pneumatic suspension dampen vibration. Fette Compacting America, Rockaway, NJ.

Data help you characterize materials, conduct pre-formulation and formulation tests, and develop granulation and tabletting processes. Press requires only 1 milligram of powder to make and break tablets as small as 2 millimeters in diameter. Optional enclosure lets you vary humid- ity between 10 to 90 percent so you can study how moisture affects compaction. Optional SafeTab HEPA-filtered, semi- disposable containment system accom- modates cytotoxic and other highly potent API formulations. Gamlen Tableting, Laguna Niguel, CA. Tel. 949 495 1897 www.gamlentableting.com Tablet press Stokes model 560 single-sided tablet press has three 10-ton compression stations, allow- ing dual pre-compression or optional bi-layer configuration. All stations use identical components to simplify parts inventory. Dual-level, three-paddle feeder maintains head pressure to ensure uniform die filling. Allen Bradley servo motors automatically adjust lower rollers and fill cams. Other features include automatic punch lubrication; LED illumination of compression zone; sealed roller bearings to prevent oil leakage; upper and lower die-table dust collection; isolated compression zone with removable turret for easy changeover and cleaning; and heavy-duty, four-column build for stability and quiet operation;. Optional CS control system uses off-the-shelf components and retro- fits to any make and model of tablet press. Compression Components & Service, Warrington, PA.
