The MODUL™ range perfectly illustrates Courtoy's status as the most innovative rotary tablet press manufacturer. All MODUL™ tablet presses are based on the revolutionary Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM) concept. The ECM is completely isolated from the remainder of the machine, contains all product contact parts and can easlily be removed from the press in a contained way. This means that the press itself remains powder-free and requires no cleaning.
Benefits of the MODUL™ tablet press
Improved Productivity
- Compression up to 50% faster for poor compressible products with Pneumatic Compensator
- 10% - 20% faster turret speed
- Fast product change-over in 1 - 2 hours with Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM)
- Less down time / process stops with Dual Control
- Up to 20% lower energy costs in operation
Superior Product, Personnel and Environmental protection
Exchangeable Compression Module (ECM):
- Reduces risk of product contamination
- Reduces risk of 'cross' contamination
- Protects operator - 'dust free' in production area
- Wash-off-line (WOL) for more potent products
Superior Tablet Quality
Equal Porosity Tabletting, unique to GEA Courtoy tablet press (independent weight and hardness control)
High Yield
- 'Linear weight control', only offered by GEA Courtoy
- Less batch start up losses
- Less out of tolerance rejects
- Yield up 97% + with ECM and improved tablet quality
Extremely fast change-over:
Now serious savings in the production cost of a tablet become reality. Where in the past tablet presses were out of operation for 4 to 8 hours for cleaning (manual or WIP) between product
change-over, Courtoy's Exchangeable Compression Module allows full change-over in less than 1 to 2 hours. All product contact parts are included in an isolated dust-tight module, which
is disconnected and removed in minutes. Another clean isolated module with the right tooling is now ready for use. Just connect it up and you are up and running again. The cleaning activity is completely removed from the machine. Now you will use a tablet press for what it is designed for - Making Tablets.
Immediate Result:
- Extremely short downtime - Very high overall productivity
- High flexibility: You can run different batches/products in one day
- The system is perfectly designed to process high potent products
The range of MODUL™ tablet presses:
- MODUL™ P for small-scale production and clinical trial batch production
- MODUL™ S for medium-volume production
- MODUL™ D for high-volume production and bi-layer applications
NEW Innovations
Tomorrow's technology today
-
The
WOL-ECM (Wash Off-Line) and the very latest addition to the ECM range.
-
The
bi-layer ECM for the MODUL™ P, illustrate Courtoy’s constant drive to enhance its technological lead and to meet customers’ production and R & D needs.
-
Dual control principle - the controls dilemma facing the pharmaceutical compression industry since its infancy has been resolved by Courtoy’s engineers. Like all great solutions, the answer is amazingly simple: physically separate the two control loops to work on separate areas of the press. Weight is controlled at pre-compression and hardness is controlled at main compression. As a result, weight and hardness can be controlled simultaneously and continuously on a standard tablet press. The dual weight/hardness control principle is integrated in the Multi-Control 4 (MC4) and is available as an optional feature on the MODUL™ rotary tablet press.
