Rotary tablet press for pharmaceutical industries
In the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries, high-speed production and quick changeover capabilities are essential for maintaining efficiency and minimizing downtime. Traditional tablet presses can struggle with quick format changes while maintaining consistent output quality.

Facilitates fast and cost-effective high-capacity tablet production
The PERFORMA P by GEA is a state-of-the-art rotary tablet press designed for single-layer and bi-layer tablet production. Its standout feature is the patented Exchangeable Die Disc (EDD) technology, which allows faster and easier format changes than conventional exchangeable turrets. This technology includes interchangeable parts such as the upper punch guide, the Exchangeable Die Disc, and the lower punch guide. The EDD can be pre-fitted and locked off-line, enabling rapid changeover and reducing machine downtime. The PERFORMA P supports D, B, BB, BBS, and A tooling, making it versatile for different tablet sizes and shapes. The machine can achieve a maximum output capacity of 374,000 tablets per hour in single-layer mode and up to 143,000 tablets per hour in bi-layer mode. Additionally, the bi-layer kit is easy to install and includes features like a 2.5 kN tamping station and an 80 kN final compression station. Integrated dust extraction nozzles further enhance efficiency by reducing cross-contamination.
