There is an increased demand for increased flexibility and product containment when working with potent compounds, especially with regards to small scale tablet presses.

This demand has led to the development of the Courtoy™Modul™ P Tablet Press (P for Pilot scale).

The Modul™ Tablet Press concept has been on the market for a few years. It is a well accepted design and concept that already feature more than 70 installations.

Key elements of the design include:

  1. The ease of removing the Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) from which the product cannot escape.
  2. It eliminates the need to clean the inside and outside of the press and the room.
  3. It results in increased operator safety and a reduction in cleaning time of up to 50%.

The ECM for the Modul P is available for all tooling types and more importantly, it serves various applications:

  1. A dust tight ECM down to 10 mcgr/m3 for single layer tabletting
  2. A Washable ECM down to 0.5 mcgr/m3 for single layer tabletting
  3. A dust tight ECM down to 10 mcgr/m3 for bi-layer tabletting
  4. A Washable ECM down to 0.5 mcgr/m3 for bi-layer tabletting

Important! The basic machine remains the same; only the selection of the ECM is required. Unlike other presses the Modul P can be turned into a single layer, a bi-layer machine or even a completely high contained press with wash-off -line capability; just by changing the ECM.

And furthermore, the most important innovation in tabletting is not visible from the outside of the press.

Full control of the compression profile at pre and main compression.

Historically, the compression profile and dwell time within a force-control system are factors of

  1. Size of compression roller
  2. Type tooling (head shape)
  3. Rotational speed of the turret

These become irrelevant with the Modul P patented compression technology, which enables you to run with any kind of tooling but still maintain the same dwell time as pre-set in the control system independent of the rotational speed of the turret.

The advantage is evident for:

  • Scale up
  • Mimicking every known tablet press
  • Compressing each individual tablet to the same hardness

Also the production environment can benefit from this advantage.

There have been several cases where our customers run the press up to 5 times faster. (Case studies may be furnished upon request.)

We also invite customers to our Maryland facility for product trials and demo's.
