High-output tablet press for pharmaceutical production
Achieve high-speed, continuous production of precise and consistent tablets with this advanced double-sided rotary press, designed for seamless integration into your pharmaceutical production line while minimizing downtime and maximizing output.
Compresses and Produces Single and Bilayer Tablets
The PERFORMA D Tablet Press from GEA is a robust, double-sided rotary press engineered for pharmaceutical manufacturers focused on large-scale production of oral solid dosage forms. Unique for its versatile turret enclosure, it allows rapid, tool-free changeovers and maintains high levels of operator protection. Capable of producing up to 1,140,000 tablets per hour, it is ideal for high-volume applications requiring minimal downtime. The PERFORMA D offers independent weight control for both single and bilayer tablets, ensuring consistent dosage and drug delivery. The machine integrates seamlessly with automated operations, supported by an intuitive MC5 operating system for compliance with 21 CFR PART 11 guidelines. Energy-efficient and easy to maintain, it features a forced powder infeed system to maximize output and consistent tablet quality. With multiple compression modes and programmable dwell times, it excels in producing various pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and supplement tablets, meeting stringent GMP standards.
