Sophisticated and beautifully engineered, the RTP 41 is the flagship model in our tablet pressing range, offering the ultimate in safety, speed and feature set. With a 4 kw motor, 80 kN of available pressure, an optional two-colour capacity, the ability to produce tablets up to 12 mm in diameter in special shapes and with carved characters or motifs, semi-automatic lubrication, extremely fast production and all-electronic controls, this tablet press is in a class entirely of its own. Ideal for major manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food technology industries, the RTP 41’s 41cutting heads can produce in the region of 180,000 tablets an hour, making it a true mass production unit.
The care taken at the design stage of this pill press has been thorough and comprehensive, with everything possible done to improve speed and efficiency and reduce downtime. From its GMP compliant stainless steel manufacture, to the special refinements that reduce powder wastage and cut maintenance, the RTP 41 tablet press has been created to mass produce pharmaceutical quality tablets at a competitive unit cost and in quantities that will meet the demands of even the largest manufacturers.
The 4 kW motor produces up to 80 kN of pressure, giving it the muscle to churn out industrial quantities of perfectly formed tablets up to 12 mm wide and 6 mm deep, and to emblazon them with crisply carved characters or an emblem. The RTP 41 also offers the option of adding a double layered, two-colour facility for manufacturers who are looking to produce striking tablets with a strong commercial appeal.
Management of tablet size, depth and motor speed are all achieved entirely through simple electronic controls, with comprehensive warning lights to keep the operator informed, while an automatic cut-out mechanism makes sure that the immense pressure the machine generates is applied safely. A four-sided Perspex shield completely encloses the turret, enhancing operator safety, and preventing airborne cross-contamination of the powder.
This not only saves a great deal of time, but it also cuts the risk of oil contamination, reduces heat build-up and ensures smooth functioning and reduced component wear.
Similarly, commonly needed spares such as the upper orbit, powder-filling apparatus, transmission pole and powder measure are interchangeable with the RTP 33, meaning that these replacement parts are easily available.
The RTP 41 is a serious piece of manufacturing plant that performs exactly as you would imagine, given its sophisticated, modern design and high quality construction. As impressive as it is, the headline rate of 180,000 tablets per hour is only half the story, because you also need to take into account the greatly reduced maintenance time that results from the innovative oiling system, vacuum powder recycling system and other refinements. In terms of overall productivity, this tablet press is therefore exceptionally efficient.
Despite its power and the immense speed of its production, the RTP 41 pill press is very easy to use thanks to its all-electronic controls and warning console. Everything you need to know is right in front of you, and anything you need to adjust is within arm’s reach. No more fiddling around with wrenches to adjust the output, or trying to remember which screws to tighten. Just turn a dial and your adjustments are made quickly and efficiently. All of which means that there is more time to monitor the quality of the pills being produced, and to keep the machine filled with powder and running smoothly.
The RTP 41’s 4 kW motor produces a maximum of 80 kN of pressure, and powers 41 sets of dies. The maximum production capacity is approximately 180,000 tablets per hour, depending on the materials being pressed. The maximum diameter of each tablet is 12 mm and the maximum thickness is 6 mm, with a depth of fill up to 15 mm. The turret speed ranges from 14-37 rpm. Overall dimensions are 1230 mm x 950 mm x 1670 mm, and the weight is 1560 kg. The RTP 41 is suitable for use with dry granular materials, and powders, but not superfine powders.
