for tabletsfor productionfor large-scale production

OverviewDesigned around a highly innovative compression system and launched in 1995, COMPRIMA is a tableting solution delivering yields up to 99.5% while maintaining tablet quality. It uses a centrifugal powder-feeding concept generated by turret rotation; centrifugal die-filling ensures accurate die filling without powder segregation and supports high production speeds including oblong and shaped tablets.

Key features

• Centrifugal die-filling for precise powder feeding and high-speed production
• Processing area isolation via seals and bellows to prevent powder contamination
• Clean-In-Place (CIP) system for fully automatic, validatable cleaning cycles
• Optional high-containment isolation (OEL 5) with glove ports and negative pressure

Machine highlights

• Feeding accuracy: Specially shaped radial channels provide consistent, closed-path powder handling to minimise product loss.
• Zero contamination: Sealed processing area with bellows and seals to reduce contamination risk.
• Cleaning cycle: Fully automatic, validatable CIP for efficient cleaning between batches.
• Containment options: Available high-containment configuration (OEL 5) with glove ports and negative pressure.
