Tel. 800 227 7853 www.qualicaps.com industry innovations R&D tablet press Kambert KX 100 tablet press for R&D and small-batch pro- duction offers pre-compression of 10 kilonewtons and main compression of 60 kilonewtons, producing as many as 86,400 tablets per hour. GMP-compliant machine uses eight, nine, or 10 stations and accepts B, D, and BB tooling. Other fea- tures include exchangeable turret, powered force feeder with variable-speed control, and fine adjustment of tablet weight and thickness. Sealed, transparent upper guard dampens noise and includes safety interlock, as does lower guard. Options include gravity feeder, different fill cam sizes, and instrumentation that monitors pre- and main compression and ejection force. CMC Machinery, Princeton, NJ. Tel. 609 720 9800 www.cadmachamerica.com Multi-layer R&D tablet press Crux 033L single-stroke tablet press for R&D produces mono-, bi-, and tri-layer tablets without special tooling. Optional modules allow you to make tablet-in-tablet (dry- coated) products and to apply external lubrication. Servo motors control upper and lower punches, replicating perfor- mance of rotary tablet presses. Servos also handle feeders, which adapt to characteristics of powder/granule. Vacuum collector minimizes cross-contamination. Machine's analysis of filling and compression is similar to that of rotary presses and enables you to identify problems early. Maximum upper and lower force is 30 kilonewtons. Touch-screen control dis- plays operations, manages recipes, and stores alarm history and tabletting data. Maximum fill depth for mono-layer tablet is 18 millimeters. For multi-layers, it's 16 millimeters for first layer and 4 millimeters for second and third layers. Options include tablet discharge force recall, thickness control, den- sity control, automatic sampling, single-tablet rejection, and automatic stoppage when machine detects repeatedly defec- tive tablets.
