Rotary tablet press for large volume industrial tablets
Optimize your high-volume tablet production with a fully automatic rotary press that excels in compressing both abrasive and corrosive powders, ensuring consistent shape and density for applications ranging from detergents to automotive components.
Compresses and Shapes Industrial Tablets
The R253 Rotary Tablet Press from GEA is a fully automatic, high-speed industrial solution designed for demanding tablet production needs. It excels in precision and durability, utilizing a dual-layer compression system capable of producing single-layer or dual-layer tablets with robust compression forces of up to 200 kN. This machine addresses the challenges of producing diverse tablets—from detergents to automotive catalysts—by ensuring uniformity and consistency, supported by features like advanced powder confinement and tablet weight control through force measurement. The R253 seamlessly integrates into high-capacity production lines, enhancing efficiency with its Siemens PLC control and industrial PC database monitoring. Its construction caters to harsh environments, boasting a stainless-steel housing and nickel-coated turret for corrosion resistance. Maintenance demands are minimized with automatic punch lubrication and a pre-compression cam for extended die dwell times, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced operational costs.
