The PERFORMA S, the larger-sized twin of the PERFORMA™ P, is capable of
producing up to 374.000 tablets per hour when fitted with conventional dies and
up to 389.000 tablets per hour when GEA Courtoy’s unique Die Shells technology
is used to enhance productivity. No other single-sided tablet press on the
market can match these output figures.
Exchangeable Die Disc (EDD)
At the core of the
PERFORMA™ range is the EDD (Exchangeable Die Disc) concept: the middle section
of the turret, containing the dies, can very easily be detached from the upper
and lower punch guide parts and handled separately.
The entire
turret, including punches and dies, can be easily removed from the machine
The special design of the PERFORMA™ turret makes it possible to
either remove the entire turret from the machine, or simply lift and swing the
upper section of the turret out of the compression zone, clearing the way for
the EDD to be lifted out manually by the operator. An EDD exchange takes less
than 30 minutes. The EDD does away with the need to have two turrets to achieve
fast product change-over. This way, the investment cost of a new tablet press
is significantly reduced.
