New Natoli models for tabletting
The latest machines include a automated lab press and new rotary press
Natoli Engineering Company has introduced a fully automatic version of the NP-RD10A – its single station, manually operated tablet press which is ideal for lab research and development when only small samples are available for testing.
The NP-RD10A has multi-layering capabilities and permits independent control of both tablet hardness and weight to meet tablet production requirements and specifications. Using this press in lab research significantly helps to maintain tablet uniformity, reduce trial and error, decrease formulation waste and increase production speed.
Meanwhile the NP-500 Series, provides a double-sided, single-footprint rotary tablet press. Designed to compress tablets requiring extra fill and extended dwell time, the NP-500 is a heavy-duty machine with unsurpassed technical support and replacement part availability.
With a 135% larger head flat diameter than standard “B” tooling, and a 70% larger head flat diameter than standard “D” tooling, compression dwell time is dramatically increased.
Servo-motors provide precise control of fill depth and tablet thickness. The increased die height provides 100% more fill than the standard “B” die and 69% more fill than the standard “D” die. Delivering up to 4,500 tablets per minute, the NP-500 Series Tablet Press combines both automation and reliability with lower servicing costs.
The Automatic Model has the ability to monitor hopper level, compression force and machine temperature through a user-friendly touch screen mounted on a stainless steel control panel. If a problem is detected, the press will automatically shutdown, protecting valuable tools.
