... Robust and Reliable Technology The KORSCH PharmaPress 800 has a large pitch circle of 740 mm that guarantees smooth punch travel and long filling lengths - which insures superior output and precision tablet weight control. The modular construction of the PharmaPress 800, which prevents the migration of dust from the compression zone, insures extremely long run durations and more batches between major cleans. The proven composite cam course design extends cam life and tool life, and minimizes heat generation in the compression zone, even in a 24/7 continuous production operation. The long filling length of the PharmaPress 800 feeder increases feeder dwell time and insures superior tablet weight control at the highest press speeds. The PharmaPress 800 features a motorized adjustment of dosing, tablet thickness, and insertion depth - to permit a full product recipe capability. The product recipe function permits the storage of an unlimited number of products, and the recipe set-up capability greatly reduces set-up scrap. The multi-zone lubrication capability permits the optimal lubrication of the upper and lower punches independently. The 3-channel discharge chute offer a fail-safe design, and the capability to direct tablet samples to an automated tablet tester, to permit unattended operation. The module, PLC based control system, features a graphical and user-friendly touch-screen environment, and permits full compliance with 21 CFR Part 11. High Output for Single and Bi-Layer Tablets Single and Bi-Layer Application The PharmaPress 800 offers 40/80 kn compression capability for highest outputs over 1 Mill. Tablets/h (BB, BBS). The press can be prepared for bi-layer production and modified from single layer to a bi-layer execution with a conversion kit. The well proven KORSCH feeder design with long filling track guarantees superior tablet weight control and minimal product loss. Single layer capability 1 Mill. Tabl/h (EU B) Bi-layer capability 0.5 Mill. Tabl/h (EU B) 40 kn Precompression Force 80 kn Main Compression Force Short Cleaning time Short Change over time Bi-Layer Conversion Capability Instrumentation: Tamping Force (Bi-Layer only) Precompression Force Main Compression Force Ejection Force (optional) User Friendly Touch Screen Control KORSCH controls feature a user friendly touch screen with a graphic presentation of key parameters. The entire operation of the press may be monitored from a single screen. The control screens are extremely well organized and clearly presented and offer an intuitive interface for operators of all skill levels. A multi-language capability permits the HMI language to be selected with the touch of a button. The HMI may be mounted on a swing arm at the machine or flush mounted in the wall of the compression suite. Automation KORSCH controls permit a modular approach to full automation, including: Press force control for automatic tablet weight control Single tablet rejection with reject log Product recipe storage and automatic set-up capability Interface to deduster and metal check for integrated logic control Interface to automated tablet tester with in-line measurement of tablet weight Interface to central SCADA system for remote monitoring or collection of production data Interface to overhead feed system or tablet collection system

The result is an extremely robust and reliable system which can be supported on-site. We do not use black box software modules or customized components that require an KORSCH specialist to repair. The use of a standard PLC system offers a level of self-sufficiency which is required for multi-shift production environments. KORSCH also use a standard touch screen interface (WinCC) which is operating on a Windows XP platform. A simple ETHERNET connection permits full network connectivity. Press Force Control Highest reliability through proven control software Precompression Force Display Main Compression Force Display Single Forces Display Press Force Trending and Storage Single Tablet Rejection System The PharmaPress 800 can be configured with an integrated press force control system (PharmaControl 2i or 3i) that provides closed loop control of the dosing cam, based on the average press force. The press force module can also be configured with the single tablet rejection system, which can reject an individual tablet from a known punch station at all operating speeds. KORSCH utilize a patented KORSCH FUZZY LOGIC algorithm for the press force control system that provides a faster and more precise response to any deviation in the press force value. The result is superior tablet weight control at even the highest press speeds.
