This machine here behind me is a GEA a
rotary tablet press equipped with a
specifically designed to MUPs in-feed
system. MUPs is a special dosage form
it's a blend between pellets and
excipients and that blend has a strong
tendency for segregation also to achieve
good quality tablets it is important not to
damage or destroy the coating of the
pellets so how did we resolve the
problem of damaging pellets and the
segregation of the blend well this
system here has been designed to
minimize mechanical stress onto the
pellets and with our unique air
compensator system we are able to
compress tablets with an equal force
avoiding over compression of the tablets
the segregation we have eliminated by
designing a continuous system a
continuous dosing, blending, feeding and
tableting system like that we have
eliminated all the process steps which
increase the risk of segregation of the
blend.
We have achieved with this system to
increase productivity up to three times
faster compared to a conventional tablet
press we have eliminated start of batch
losses and end of batch losses meaning
thirty percent losses which we got rid of
Higher process yield next to that we
have a very robust process meaning that
there is no risk of losing complete
batches at all. This system is available
in our factory so if customers have any
of these problems they can always
contact us we will support them and invite them for further trials in our factory.
