The MODUL™ P tablet press provides similar performance and
control characteristics to its PERFORMA™ cousin – with one
essential difference: the ECM. The MODUL™ P is ideally
suited for formulation development, clinical trial production
and small-batch / multi-product production. The extremely
short changeover time offered by the MODUL™ P results in a
tremendous increase in productivity, especially when the
production schedule involves a succession of many small
batches.
Small-scale Production
The MODUL™ P features the unique Exchange Compression Module
(ECM) for standard and high containment applications.
The ECM encloses all product-contact parts in a sealed
unit and can quickly and easily be removed from the machine
in a contained manner for cleaning and replaced with a
pre-prepared unit to allow production to resume in 30
minutes.
Small-scale Continuous Bi-layer Tablet Production
The MODUL™ P is also available with an Exchangeable Compression
Module (ECM) for bi-layer tablet production. The MODUL™ P
with bi-layer ECM is the first press to enter the market
that enables continuous bi-layer tableting on a small scale.
It is the perfect solution to your bi-layer formulation
development, clinical trial and other small-scale production
needs.
Features
Standard or Wash-off-Line ECM
Single and bi-layer capabilities
in dust-tight and washable execution
Choice of different compression modes
(force control, dual control and advanced dual control)
High sensitivity weight control for
small tablets and those requiring low compression
forces
Dual reject feature
Latest HMI for complete process control,
including peripherals, for lights-out operation.
Benefits
Fast product changeover, improved
productivity and a safe working environment
Extended dwell time at pre- and main
compression without any loss of linear speed.
Individual control of tablet hardness.
Flexible operation for small-medium.
production and R&D operations with seamless scale-up.
Medium throughput of up to 244.800 tablets/h.
