FlexiTab® - the new fully automated single station tablet press
The Manesty FlexiTab® is a new, fully automated single station tablet press which has been developed to support the production of small batches and offers a complete solution to the research and development of new tablets. It has the ability to use the same compression forces and dwell times found on modern rotary tablet presses using standard B and D type tooling. Unlike all other tablet presses, the FlexiTab® is not fixed to a compression cycle. All parameters are fully adjustable. The software and Siemens 57 based plc control system gives the operator the ability to study and experiment with all parameters of a compression cycle. This flexibility also offers basic operating modes for simple production of tablets. Unique for a machine of this type, it is capable of manufacturing single, bi-layer and tri-layer tablets.
