The MODUL P Pilot Scale tablet press is setting new standards for productivity, flexibility, and safety in research and development projects for tableting.
Courtoy has introduced the latest addition to the MODUL™ range of tablet presses — the MODUL™ P. This smaller counterpart to the MODUL™ S and the MODUL™ D is ideally suited for formulation development, clinical trial production and small-batch/multi-product production. The extremely short change-over 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.
Options
- Monitoring of the vacuum inside the ECM.
- High-containment ECM for toxic products (down to 1µg/m3).
- Wash-off-line (WOL) ECM for automatic washing.
- Constant Level feeding system for superior tablet weight stability.
- Dual Control system for superior tablet hardness stability.
- Fast change-over kit for the ECM.
- Complete 'dust-tight' installation for extremely fast change-over and unmatched productivity.
- Modem for remote maintenance and support.
This short change-over time can be achieved thanks to the ECM concept, which is the cornerstone of the MODUL™ tablet press range. The ECM or Exchangeable Compression Module encapsulates all product contact parts and can be removed from the machine in a contained manner. While the contaminated ECM is cleaned off-line, production with another ECM can be resumed on the machine, which doesn't require any cleaning. This change-over takes a mere 30 minutes for the tablet press. With two ECMs and duplicated peripherals, a change-over time of less than 2 hours can be achieved for the entire production line. The ECM is available in a dust-tight, high-containment or wash-off-line version.
The ECM concept ensures optimal flexibility, while also offering enhanced safety. Not only are operators and the environment protected from potentially hazardous products, but the product itself is far less at risk from foreign contamination.
The MODUL™ P widens the reach of the ingenious ECM concept to include all types of small-scale production.
