Courtoy's revolutionary and unique design, leading to unrivaled productivity, containment and flexibility - All in one!
ECM Exchangeable Compression Module (patent pending)
1. The ECM is a completely closed box:
Contains all product contact parts.
Contains all format parts.
Is isolated from the remainder of the machine.
2. The 4 interfaces between the ECM and its environment:
Powder inlet
Air inlet
Tablet outlet
Dust extraction
3. The ECM is extremely easy and fast to remove from and re-insert in the machine.
ECM removal/insertion procedure is semi-automatic.
All components are exchanged together as one unit.
4. The inside of the tablet press remains absolutely clean and contamination free.
Moreover, it offers great accessibility for inspection and maintenance.
5. Cleaning and format change-over are performed OFF-LINE:
The ECM is positioned on a trolley and transferred to a washing bay when it is ready to be cleaned. The ECM is then opened to expose the internal product surfaces; the surfaces are then cleaned and prepared for a new run.
The tablet press itself requires absolutely no cleaning or format-change activities.
OFF-LINE: The time required for cleaning and format change-over of the ECM is NO downtime to the tablet press. While one ECM is being cleaned, the Modul™ S is back in production with another ECM.
