Reduced costs for pharmaceutical process lines
The new BuckValve MC is a new concept in high containment valves that makes the transfer of active ingredients or chemicals between IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) much easer and less expensive
The advantages of the Modul D include high-capacity output (nearly three times that of the Modul S) to meet increased production requirements.
In addition, the unit offers the capability to produce double-layer tablets and product changeover of the complete compression suite can be doe in less than an hour.
The Modul D features reduced production cost per tablet due to fast changeover, reduced downtime, and increased productivity.
The removed ECM can be washed offline while production is resumed with a second ECM.
Operator protection is enhanced by very high containment levels (to 1 microg/m3) while optimised production control is accomplished thru the choices of control systems available.
The Modul tablet press is equipped with a fully graphical interface that can either be run in the standard Courtoy Displacement Control mode, or in Force Control or Dual Control.
The Dual Control combines force control and displacement control in independent control loops for control of both tablet weight and hardness.
