Tablet Press Feeder For Die Wall Lubrication
The Coperion K-Tron PH line of pharmaceutical design loss-in-weight tablet press feeders are engineered for accurate dispensing of powder lubricants directly to the tablet press punch and die wall surfaces. The Coperion K-Tron tablet press feeder offers an automated, nearly constant feed rate, providing uniform coating of the tablet tools and avoiding sticking problems. This external lubrication provides many additional potential benefits to manufacturers of tablet dosage forms including improving tablet hardness and dissolution properties. The Coperion K-Tron state-of-the-art SFT load cell technology, coupled with a venturi-type dispersion method, produce consistent and measurable flow of lubricant powder.
In addition, studies have shown that using the Coperion K-Tron tablet press feeder to feed the lubricant directly into the tablet press tools, rather than adding the lubricant to the blender, can drastically reduce consumption of the lubricant, sometimes by as much as 97%!
