The Piccola PLC rotary tablet press, with all the
features of large production presses, is essential for early
development, necessary for scale up. Designed for R &
D. The Cost effective way shorten development time, solve formulation
problems and produce low volume production runs.
The Piccola PLC rotary tablet press is a 6-ton rotary
tablet press that can fit on a tabletop. The press uses standard
B or D tooling. The press with SMI instrumentation
is designed to simplify the development process.
The Piccola PLC rotary tablet press,
with "The Director"
data acquisition and analysis system, will shorten development
time and help solve formulation problems. Detailed analysis of
individual compression events enhance the understating of the
compaction process. SMI instrumentation of ejection
and take off forces can assist in lubrication studies. Compaction
profiles are generated in minutes.
The Piccola PLC rotary tablet press,
with its larger turret diameter, pre compression and variable
speed allow for realistic scale up to larger rotary presses. The
dual paddle feed system helps maintain uniform die fill and represents
production equipment. With the large variable speed range and
"The Director",
strain rate sensitivity studies will predict how the formulation
will behave in production
At 60,000 tablets per hour the Piccola PLC rotary
tablet press can easily produce small or specialized production
runs. The 30-minute tooling change over makes the Piccola PLC
rotary tablet press is especially attractive when
smaller batches are required. The Piccola PLC is small enough to be
installed in a glove box.
The Piccola PLC with the Director will generate a Compaction
Study with as little as 50 grams of material. A Strain Rate Sensitivity
Study will determine how the formulation will run in production.
