GEA Courtoy will be showing the latest in tableting technology at P-MEC India this year!

MODUL™ Tablet Compression

The MODUL™ range illustrates Courtoy's status as the most innovative rotary tablet press manufacturer. All MODUL™ tablet presses are based on the revolutionary Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) concept. The ECM is completely isolated from the remainder of the machine, contains all product contact parts and can easlily be removed from the press in a contained way. This means that the press itself remains powder-free and requires no cleaning.

Advanced Technology

• Air compensator at pre-compression offering extremely long and freely-adjustable dwell time. This results in perfect de-aeration of the powder bed prior to main compression, completely eliminating or significantly reducing capping problems - even at high speed.
  
• Air compensator at final compression allows compression to equal force rather than to equal thickness. Equal force or 'equal porosity' compression applies exactly the same peak compression force to every tablet independent of variations in tablet weight and punch length thereby significantly reducing variability in tablet hardness, dissolution time and bio-availability. Equal force compression is particularly beneficial for the production of ODT (Orally Disintegrating Tablets) and MUPS (Multiple Unit Pellets System) as these require low and accurately-controlled compression forces. Equal force compression has also proven to reduce significantly capping and sticking with delicate formulations caused by too high or too low peak forces.
  
• Dual Control, providing simultaneous and continuous weight and hardness control through two independent control loops. Dual Control has proven to increase productivity and reduce powder losses as it drastically reduces machine stops due to IPC checks out of specification.

MODUL™ for fast product changeover, containment and versatility
MODUL™ Rotary Tablet Presses are equipped with the patented ECM offering extremely fast product change-over, inherently better product containment and unmatched versatility. The MODUL™ can easily be equipped with a WOL-ECM for high-containment applications or with a BL-ECM for bi-layer tablet production. With the standard C-ECM the MODUL™ is perfect for a multi-product production enviroment where unmatched productivity is achieved thanks to product changeover times down to one quarter of conventional exchangeable turret machines.

PERFORMA™ for top productivity in the long run
The PERFORMA™ is the machine of choice for mono-production and long-campaign production runs. High productivity is achieved by a larger number of punch positions and a novel die design: the EDD (Exchangeable Die Disc) is a significantly more economical alternative to the conventional exchangeable turret. The PERFORMA™ has the highest ratio of output to footprint on the market.
