Rotary tablet press for pharmaceutical industries

Optimize your tablet production with swift format changeovers and bi-layer capability, enhancing your output efficiency and versatility without significant investment costs.

Compresses and Produces Single- and Bi-layer Tablets

The PERFORMA P Tablet Press from GEA offers a cost-effective solution for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturers by integrating the innovative Exchangeable Die Disc (EDD) technology. This feature significantly reduces downtime with fast and easy format changeovers, optimizing production efficiency. It supports single-layer and bi-layer tablet production, catering to a wide range of end-products such as paracetamol and bi-layer antihistamine tablets. With a maximum output capacity of up to 374,000 tablets per hour, the press ensures high-speed continuous operation. The PERFORMA P is PLC-controlled for seamless integration into existing production lines, maintaining precise control over tablet compression forces. Designed to handle powders and granules, it operates with variable compression forces up to 100 kN, ensuring quality and consistency. Compliant with stringent industry standards, its compact design includes integrated dust extraction systems and offers easy maintenance with a limited number of components needed for bi-layer production conversion.
