Rotary tablet press for small to medium scale production
Optimize your tablet production with a versatile rotary press, offering rapid changeover and high containment. Ideal for developing complex formulations and executing clinical trials, it enables seamless transition from research to small-scale continuous production, even accommodating bi-layer tablet compression needs.
Compresses Tablets and Bi-layer Dosage Forms
The MODUL P from GEA offers a versatile solution for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical tablet production, featuring a unique Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) that minimizes downtime with rapid changeovers. It supports both single and bi-layer tablet compression, making it ideal for small to medium production runs with precision control. This machine excels in producing aspirin tablets, multivitamin bi-layer forms, and trial dosages with a production capacity of up to 244,800 tablets per hour.
Equipped with advanced dual control for compression modes, the MODUL P ensures consistent tablet hardness and weight accuracy. The system operates efficiently with clean and dry compressed air, requiring 7-8 bar pressure. Its integration capabilities allow seamless operation in continuous production lines, facilitated by the latest HMI for comprehensive process control.
Constructed for stringent pharmaceutical environments, it adheres to GMP standards and supports effective dust extraction to maintain a clean working area. Maintenance is streamlined by the ECM design, allowing for a swift, contamination-free cleaning process that optimizes operational uptime.
This rotary tablet press is engineered for adaptability, with tooling options including D, B, BB, and BBS, accommodating various tablet sizes and formats. It’s an ideal choice for environments prioritizing scalability and precise control, supported by GEA’s engineering expertise and customization options.
