HT-AP-LSU/3L: Triple Layer Tablet Press with Custom Core Option

The Hata Core-Tableting technology increases Hata's Triple Layer Press capabilities by efficiently producing single-layer, bi-layer and tri-layer core-coated tablets.

Patented Core Feeder Technology:

• Changes from core to bi-layer operation by simply switching the Core Feeder off
• Changes to tri-layer operation in less than 8 hours
• The first and second layer can be different products
• Utilizes a continuous chain
• Allows an item to be inserted into a predetermined location in a specific die
• Applies advanced technology for core-coating and time-release solid dosage tablets
• Cores are held in position and slowly embedded into the tablet over 32-degrees of turntable rotation allowing consistent, accurate and repeatable placement from setup to setup
• The placement/positioning within the die are maintained by the geometry of the transfer cog and once set, cannot be changed
• Cores are normally centered, but can be off-centered if required

Patented Core Feeder Process:

• Core Tablets are fed from a Vibratory Bowl on to a Tablet Slide
• Guides the tablets into a Feed Rod
• Guides the tablets into the Tablet Insert Chute
• Positions tablets on the Bowl Top
• Uses centrifugal force to help hold the core in position
• Feeds the cores to the inside of the In-feed Wheel instead of the outside
• Cores damaged by the feeding system is almost nonexistent
• Elimination of core insertion timing issues
