Industrial rotary press for single-layer tablet production
In industries requiring precise and consistent tablet formation, the challenge lies in maintaining uniform density and preventing wear during high-compression processes. Applications range from creating nuclear fuel pellets and hard metals to producing batteries and confectionery.

Ensure consistent tablet density and long-lasting operation
The R55 from GEA is a robust industrial rotary press designed for single-layer tablet production across varied applications, including nuclear fuel pellets, hard metals, batteries, and confectionery. It features a cast iron frame, a nickel-coated forged steel turret, and a die table with replaceable hard chromium wear plates. The press can apply a compression force of up to 130 kN, ensuring constant tablet density or height, controlled via a user-friendly 21.5-inch HD touchscreen. The R55 integrates inline tablet density measurement with feedback, enhancing precision. It also includes punch holders with high-pressure heads and guiding rollers, which significantly reduce wear and promote long-term, trouble-free operation. The stainless-steel casing, complete with multiple polycarbonate doors and an isolated compression zone, facilitates easy maintenance and punch removal.
