Tablet compression technology for pharmaceutical production

Enhance your production capabilities with advanced tablet compression machines, perfect for achieving precise dosage and high-speed processing in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical manufacturing.

Compresses and Shapes Tablets for R&D

The FlexiTab XL from Syntegon is a versatile single punch tablet press that caters to the unique production challenges in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and confectionery industries. Designed for early-stage R&D and clinical trials, this machine excels in producing a wide range of tablets and oblong forms, including multi-layered dosages with up to three APIs. The FlexiTab XL offers precise control over layering and sequencing, thanks to its enhanced data acquisition (DAQ) software. Capable of rapid changeovers, it supports tight schedule demands in research and development environments. The machine’s compact design ensures seamless integration into existing labs, while its hygienic build meets cGMP standards, facilitating fast and easy cleaning. Fully manual or automated sequencing of tablet production accommodates varied operational needs, making it a highly adaptable tool for any tablet formulation requirement.
