The KTP 420X tablet press, specially designed for the pharmaceutical industry, impresses with high availability as well as quick and easy format changes.
The KTP 420X is a single sided rotary press for mono-layer tablets.
Benefits of the KTP 420X
Cool
- Reliable cooling of the process area to below 30 °C – ideal for processing temperature sensitive medications such as Ibuprofen
- Special compression rollers, bolts and bearings to ensure lowest friction
- Efficient cooling of the torque drive and the V-ring seal (for the die table)
Fast
- Efficient cooling of the torque drive and the V-ring seal (for the die table)
- High speed: up to 360,000 tabs/h
- Excellent performance with challenging high volume products such as Metformin
and Amlodipin
- Quick product and format changes: tablet chute and fill shoe can be swung out – no tedious readjustments
- Few product contact parts: minimal cleaning effort
- Tool-less format change
Clean
- Optimal hygienic design
- Hermetical separation between compaction and service area
- Patented, closed punch bellows to prevent tablet contamination
