Prensa Rotativa para Comprimido RTP41

The care taken at the design stage of this pill press has been thorough and comprehensive, with everything possible done to improve speed and efficiency and reduce downtime. From its GMP compliant stainless steel manufacture, to the special refinements that reduce powder wastage and cut maintenance, the RTP41 tablet press has been created to mass produce pharmaceutical quality tablets at a competitive unit cost and in quantities that will meet the demands of even the largest manufacturers.

Features

The RTP41’s feature set is genuinely impressive, with offerings that no one other comparable machine can match. The 4Kw motor produces up to 80Kn of pressure, giving it the muscle to churn out industrial quantities of perfectly formed tablets up to 12mm wide and 6 mm deep, and to emblazon them with crisply carved characters or an emblem. The RTP41 also offers the option of adding a double layered, two-colour facility, for producers who are looking to produce striking tablets with strong commercial appeal.

Management of tablet size, depth, and motor speed are all achieved entirely through simple electronic controls, with comprehensive warning lights to keep the operator informed. While an automatic cut out mechanism makes sure that the immense pressure the machine generates is applied safely. A four sided Perspex shield completely encloses the turret, enhancing operator safety, and preventing air borne cross contamination of the powder. For easy cleaning and access, the shield can be opened on all sides. The powder itself is used with maximum efficiency, thanks to a vacuum driven suction unit that draws excess powder from the die area and returns it to be reused. As well as being efficient in terms of preventing wastage, this also reduces the cleaning needed to deal with flying powder, and reduces the danger of a blockage disrupting production.

A point of note is that the dies the RTP41 uses are interchangeable with other popular machines such as the RTP 19, RTP 33, RTP 35 and RTP 37, which ensures easy availability. And commonly required spares such as the upper orbit, powder filling apparatus, transmission pole and powder measure are interchangeable with the RTP33, which means replacement parts are easily available.

RTP41 Tablet Press in Use

The RTP41 is a serious piece of manufacturing plant that performs exactly as you would imagine, given its sophisticated, modern design and high quality construction. As impressive as it is, the headline rate of 180,000 tablets per hour is only half the story, because you also need to take into account the greatly reduced maintenance time that results from the innovative oiling system, vacuum powder recycling system and other refinements. In terms of overall productivity, this tablet press is therefore exceptionally efficient.

Despite its power and the immense speed of its production, the RTP41 pill press is very easy to use thanks to its all-electronic controls and warning console. Everything you need to know is right in front of you, and anything you need to adjust is within arm’s reach. No more fiddling around with wrenches to adjust the output, or trying to remember which screws to tighten. Just turn a dial and your adjustments are made quickly and efficiently. All of which means that there is more time to monitor the quality of the pills being produced, and to keep the machine filled with powder and running smoothly.
