Rotary tablet press, recognised for superior performance and very attractive process economics, is now available as a double-sided, double-layer type for high-capacity production.

The Courtoy Modul Rotary Tablet Press, recognised for superior performance and very attractive process economics, is now available as a double-sided, double-layer Modul D with high-capacity production capabilities. Like the single-sided Modul S, the Modul D contains all powder within an innovative (patent pending) Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) designed for extremely fast product changeover. The advantages of the Modul D include high-capacity output (nearly three times that of the Modul S) to meet increased production requirements.

In addition, the unit offers the capability to produce double-layer tablets and product changeover of the complete compression suite can be doe in less than an hour.

The Modul D features reduced production cost per tablet due to fast changeover, reduced downtime, and increased productivity.

The removed ECM can be washed offline while production is resumed with a second ECM.

Operator protection is enhanced by very high containment levels (to 1 microgramme/m3) while optimised production control is accomplished thru the choices of control systems available.

The Modul tablet press is equipped with a fully graphical interface that can either be run in the standard Courtoy Displacement Control mode, or in Force Control or Dual Control.

The Dual Control combines force control and displacement control in independent control loops for control of both tablet weight and hardness.
