A new, continuous way to produce tablets
The FE CPS continuous system (photo) is industry’s new state-of-the-art solution for continuous dosing and blending of raw materials, including conveying and delivering the high-quality blend to any downstream powder-processing equipment. When combined with a tablet press, the result is a Continuous Direct Compression line. For tablet production, the powder is fed from the FE CPS into the tablet press without additional granulation. Compared to granulation-based production, several steps are eliminated, which reduces space requirements and energy consumption and makes the process leaner overall. The system is capable of processing a wide range of ingredients in a variable throughput range of 5 to 200 kg/h. It can dose and mix up to six powdered raw materials and transfer them to the downstream process. The system unit, together with the tablet press and terminal, can be installed on a single level, facilitating its integration into existing production environments.
