Tablet presses
Manesty TPR Series of tablet presses includes models 200, 500, and 700. TPR 200
(photo) for developing and evaluating tablet formulations produces as many as
230,000 tablets per hour. Options include containment and bi-layer tabletting. TPR
500 has 56-station die table and can produce more than 400,000 tablets per hour.
Its Siemens torque drive delivers high torque at low rpm, conserves space in mechan-
ical area, generates little heat, and has no wear parts. TPR 700 can produce more
than 1 million tablets per hour. It also uses torque drive and can be configured for
bi-layer tabletting. All three models use exchangeable turret, modular powder feed-
ers, and Beckhoff PLC with user-friendly interface. All are available with integrated
dies.

Double-sided tablet press
FE75 double-sided tablet press accepts
as many as 115 punch stations to pro-
duce more than 1.6 million tablets per
hour. Its four compression rollers can be
configured to operate with two inter-
mediate pressures. Pneumatically con-
trolled 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-posi-
tion connection speeds installation dur-
ing changeover and cleaning. Turret
changeover is automated and requires
no tools. Two-part frame and pneu-
matic suspension dampen vibration.

Tablet press
Prexima tablet press is based on com-
pany's Comprima concept that separates
processing area from mechanical zones.
Large doors grant easy access to product-
contact components, while machine's
lower zone stays closed unless mainte-
nance is required. Two cast iron structures
house compression rollers and support
each of them from both sides; three-col-
umn support of cast iron structures
ensures stability and handles main com-
pression forces as high as 100 kilonew-
tons. Turret removes easily with help of
rotating arm housed in upper mechanical
compartment; Xima control interface
provides step-by-step operator instruc-
tions for removal.
