Double-sized bi-layer tablet press
Achieve high-volume production with precision using a double-sized bi-layer tablet press designed to minimize downtime and cross-contamination, ensuring optimal bonding and consistent tablet quality in every batch.
Compresses and Controls Bi-Layer Tablet Production
The MODUL D from GEA is a high-capacity tablet compression machine designed for pharmaceutical manufacturers focusing on bi-layer and high-volume tablet production. With a standout feature of the Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM), it ensures a clean production environment by encapsulating all product contact parts. Capable of producing over 1 million tablets per hour, it is ideal for products like extended-release pain relief and effervescent vitamin C tablets. The machine’s dual control system enhances batch consistency and minimizes waste. Its zero-gap powder feeder and innovative extraction nozzles reduce cross-contamination during bi-layer tableting. The MODUL D supports GMP compliance and offers ease of cleaning with reduced downtime, thanks to its modular ECM. Advanced features like automated weight control and hardness adjustment further optimize production efficiency.
