The RTP 118 is a powerful rotary tablet press that allows users to produce high volumes of quality tablets at an extremely high rate. With the RTP 118 clean design, high output and advanced safety features, there are not many presses that can compete at this price. With an easy to use design, you will be up and running in no time with this RTP 118 Rotary Tablet Press from LFA Machines.
The RTP 118 Rotary Tablet press from LFA Machines was designed with thought and quality in mind for our customers. This tablet press boasts a maximum tablet output of 39,600 tablets per hour on our Euro BB tooling turret. We also offer a Euro B and Euro D turret. (Please refer to the specification chart to see each turret output.) This large output will allow you to maintain shorter run times to meet your targeted numbers. The RTP 118 is made from stainless steel to meet GMP requirements as well as a rust free and clean experience. This rotary press is armed with a line of door and safety sensors, as well as a perspex cover to keep the operator safe at all times. The RTP 118 Rotary Tablet press is ideal for users who need fast and professional production of tablets from granular or powdered materials. This machine is particularly popular with customers in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries.
Our standard RTP 118 will come with 9 stations that fit Euro B punches, but we also can offer a Euro D and Euro BB turret. This machine can produce circular tablets with a maximum diameter of 16 mm, or 19 mm for all non-circular tablets such as ovals, or custom irregular shapes. Machines such as the RTP 41, RTP 10i and even the HSTP Rotary Tablet Press are able to accept this tooling.
The RTP 118 Rotary Tablet Press's nine Euro BB tooling stations and a maximum 3,600 turret rotation will achieve an impressive output of 39,600 tablets per hour. For the Euro B and Euro D outputs, please refer to the spec sheet. This machine has been carefully designed to focus on a high output of tablets as well as ease of use. The machine was designed specifically to be used with a single tool in day-to-day use, thus a single tool to fit each part of the machine to preclude the need for frequent tooling changes, and to ease maintenance and upkeep. The days of needing multiple tools just to make a minor adjustment are gone.
The simplicity of use of the RTP 118 is evident when taking your first look. On the front of the machine there is a knob for adjusting the fill depth and the pressure; on/off buttons; emergency stop switch; and a speed adjustment dial. Unlike other rotary presses or desktop presses with excess knobs, buttons, and nut and bolt tightening, this design allows the machine operator to simply adjust their settings and spend more time focusing on monitoring production. The time saved will allow for the operator to achieve higher quality tablets in the manufacturing process.
Right next to simplicity and high output, the engineering team at LFA Machines holds safety in the highest regard. The RTP 118 is fitted with sensors on each of the lower doors to ensure that the machine will not run when one of the doors is open. The Perspex casing around the turret of the press is also fitted with sensors to help prevent accidents and injury. An alarm on the Perspex casing will also notify the operator if it is not correctly in position, protecting the machine from damage.
With safety still in mind, the RTP 118 is fitted with pressure overload sensors as well as a jamming sensor. These two simple sensors will shut the machine off at an instant to protect the user and itself. This machine will be able to tell if the pressure is set too high, which could yield catastrophic results to your punches and even turret. If a machine were to jam, the sensor would shut it down immediately, saving both your motor and your wallet from burning out.
The ease of use, high hourly output and safety of the RTP 118 will give you more free time and ease of mind when producing tablets. All parts on this press are easy to access, remove and replace when needed. The dies and punches can be changed quickly, with a single tool. This will greatly increase the speed in tooling changes as well as cleaning the machine and storing the punches after a day of production.
Easy, fast and powerful, this rotary tablet press is the perfect machine for manufacturing large quanities of tablets in the shortest period of time. LFA Machines offers a large range of dies which can be easily removed and inserted into this machine.
Keeping production running is effort-free with this rotary tablet press. With a single hopper to fill all 7, 9 or 11 die bores and electronic speed adjustment, you can ensure that your product is flowing through the machine at the optimal rate to suit your desired needs. You can slow the press down for formulas with weaker binding properties, giving longer dwell times to ensure a solid durable tablet is produced; or speed the press up once you have your formula perfected or for formulas requiring less pressure.
The RTP 118 will produce tablets of a very high standard, quality and consistent weight. With 60 kN of maximum pressure, this press will consistently produce hard, strong tablets. With the different punch options on offer from LFA Machines, this press can create scored or unscored tablets, circular tablets or non-circular tablets such as ovals, capsules or even custom shapes. The RTP 118 ejection system is always in line with the turret die table, ensuring the safety of the tablets as they come into contact with the take-off blade pushing the tablet off the turret and down the ejection chute. Such is the speed of production at maximum power that the hardest part of running this machine is keeping pace with its productivity.
