The controls dilemma facing the pharmaceutical compression industry since its infancy has been resolved by Courtoy’s engineers. Like all great solutions, the answer is amazingly simple: physically separate the two control loops to work on separate areas of the press. Weight is controlled at pre-compression and hardness is controlled at main compression. As a result, weight and hardness can be controlled simultaneously and continuously on a standard tablet press. Yes, it is possible!
The Dual Control system is available as an option on the MODUL™ rotary tablet press range.
It allows for independent monitoring and control of tablet weight and tablet hardness. Thanks to the Dual Control system, tablets can be manufactured under constant thickness or constant hardness, without any influence on the superior weight control algorithm.
