High-containment tablet deduster

Ensure optimal purity and safety in pharmaceutical production with high-containment dedusting and advanced metal detection, designed to handle sensitive tablets and capsules while maintaining stringent cleanliness and compliance standards.

Dedusts, Detects Metals, Sorts, and Cleans Tablets and Capsules

The KD7075A from Krämer AG is a high-performance deduster tailored for pharmaceutical tablets and capsules, ensuring optimal cleanliness and product integrity. This equipment integrates seamlessly into automated production lines, effectively removing dust and detecting metal contaminants with precision. It features a spiral upward conveying system, ideal for pharmaceutical environments requiring high containment (OEB 5) standards. With conveying capabilities for a variety of tablet and capsule sizes, it maintains throughput with rapid processing speeds, handling up to 10,300,000 micro-tablets per hour.

Equipped with a KC7070A touchscreen controller, the KD7075A provides easy operation, remote diagnostics via an integrated VNC server, and compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, emphasizing secure process management. Its construction utilizes AISI 316L for critical contact parts, ensuring robust chemical resistance, while the ATEX certification guarantees safe operation in explosive environments.

The helix design, featuring efficient washing nozzles, minimizes water usage, supporting automated or manual Wash-in-Place (WIP) cleaning for consistent performance. Additionally, optional features like metal detector test tablet insert devices, HEPA filters, and customizable diverters enhance operational flexibility. Suitable for various pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical processes, the KD7075A ensures unmatched product quality control and seamless integration into your production workflow.
