Piccola Bi-Layer
This rotary press was designed to represent two-layer tablet production conditions at a small scale, according to the needs of new product development.Piccola Bi-layer press meets cGMP standards and can use type D or B tooling complying with TSM or EU standards, which allows the employment of the same punches used in production.For an appropriate adjustment in tablet production, there are totally independent systems for weight, height and hardness adjustment, both for the first and second layers. A PLC system having a touch screen and a software designed for Galenic Development and Production Control allows the integrated control of all parameters, including production rate and, separately, the rate of each of the star forced feeder. There are varied accessories and options for the software used; such as the possibility of weight control during production and the use of data obtained for calculation and statistics.
- Easy and quick assembly and dismantling of hoppers, feeders and dies for cleaning and product replacement purposes.
- Two product hoppers with paddle feeders.
- Pre-compression system.
- Easy access to the machine through eight removable doors, interconnected and equipped with safety switches.
- Two vacuum inlets for separate product recovery.
- Rate variation by an inverter.
- Pressure compensation hydro pneumatic system.
- Wipper seals on punches.
- Automatic lubrication.
