Medium-volume rotary tablet press for pharmaceuticals
Optimize tablet production with high-throughput and rapid changeover capabilities, ensuring exceptional containment and product quality while reducing downtime.
Compresses and Contains Pharmaceutical Tablets
The MODUL S from GEA is a high-capacity rotary tablet press tailored for pharmaceutical manufacturers, combining rapid changeover and operator safety with its unique Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) technology. Designed for high throughput, it processes a range of tablets, including aspirin and multivitamins, at up to 374,000 tablets per hour. This system permits swift, 30-minute changeovers, enhancing productivity while minimizing contamination risks by isolating all product contact parts. Equipped with dual control for precise weight and hardness management, the MODUL S integrates seamlessly into continuous, high-speed production lines. Automation is facilitated by a sophisticated HMI for complete process oversight, while the ECM allows offline cleaning, ensuring an uncontaminated production environment. The robust design supports varied tooling options, and meets stringent GMP standards, providing reliability and quality assurance in pharmaceutical applications.
