... Features for Superior Performance.

KORSCH TRP double rotary presses feature two pre- and main-compression stations and 23 to 67 punch stations depending upon the format of the blanks. The unique modular design of TRP presses makes it possible to configure installations to meet specific customer needs. KORSCH is the only manufacturer to offer such unprecedented versatility for industrial tablet production. KORSCH customers will also appreciate the fact that the TRP system will be regularly enhanced.

700/900-3S/5S

Dedicated multi-layer configuration for the production of three, four, and five layers. First layer filling depth of 40/60 mm, and filling depth to 25 mm on each subsequent layer provides ex-treme versatility. Low tamping force measurement and control capability - from 100 N to 20 kN, and a final compression force of 50 kN. Fully automated controls provide independent control of each layer weight.

700/900-NM

Dedicated tablet press for the high-speed production of rings – utilized extensively for the production of alkaline batteries. The TRP 700 is utilized for production of LR03 (AAA), LR06 (AA) rings, and the heavy tonnage TRP 900 is especially ideal for LR14 (C-size) and LR20 (D-size) configurations. Precompression ca-pability of 40-60 kN, and final compression force of 100-200 kN. Specially designed ejection system permits forces to 60 kN.

700/900-2U/2UM

Specialized configuration with two independently controlled lower punches for special shapes. Utilized primary for ceramics and sintered metals, this configuration offers extreme flexibility for the high-speed production of a wide variety of components. Available with a center pin in the lower punch for ring produc-tion.

700/900-2S

Dedicated bi-layer configuration with low tamping force mea-surement and control capability - from 100 N to 20 kN, and a final compression force of 50 kN. First layer filling depth up to 40/60 mm, and first layer insertion depth to 25 mm pro-vides maximum flexibility for first and second layer weight. Fully automated controls provide independent control of each layer weight.

700/900-N2S

Standard TRP 700/900-N with optional conversion kit for high-speed bi-layer tablet production. Conversion kit includes change parts for cam track and insertion depth adjustment to permit both single and bi-layer tablet production on the same machine for maximum flexibility.

700/900-N

Standard double-sided tablet press for high-speed production of single layer tablets. Precompression capability of 40/60 kN and main compression capability of 100/200 kN.

The Compression Zonefeatures exceptional accessibility

The compression zone has been completely redesigned for optimal cleaning and changeover, and features the exten-sive use of quick-disconnects for all components.

The Pharmaceutical model features a fully GMP-compliant compression zone, with stainless steel shrouds, and clean, smooth surfaces. The large rotor offers a range of 23-67 press stations, and the machine can produce a tablet to 60 mm in diameter. The maximum output is 321,600 tablets per hour at 40 RPM. The TRP 700/900 is clearly intended for continuous, high-speed production, and is designed to operate a minimum of 160 hours without any significant maintenance or service.

The Principle – Perfection.

The Press Toolsoffer a variety of options to eliminate picking and sticking

Picking and sticking – or the adherence of material to the punch surface can be a major issue for many technical and pharmaceutical products.

The TRP 700/900 offers the unique TWIST option, in which the upper and lower punch are twisted in opposite direc-tions just after compression – a system that has an extensive track record of success in many applications. In addition, in extreme cases, the machine can be equipped with rotary brushes that clean the punch surfaces, and if required, a spray lubricant system to facilitate tablet ejection.

In any case, these options permit the long-term continuous production of extremely difficult products.

The Sealsinsure exceptional dust containment and extended run durations

KORSCH machines feature a unique seal design between the rotor and the machine housing. A special labyrinth seal has no contact with the moving parts and is therefore wear-free. The seal requires absolutely no maintenance, provides optimal dust containment, and permits easy access for machine disassembly and cleaning. A similar sealing system is used on the four panels of the lower cam track, which features a quick-disconnect design. All machines offer an isolated and encapsulated compression zone as standard equipment and the noise level is limited to a maximum of 85 dB.

The Motorfor versatility and high performance

A new feature of the TRP 700/900 is the frequently drive on the main motor, in combination with a precision FLENDER DUPLEX worm gear transmission. This system provides high torque at all speeds, and a special high-speed control sys-tem provides immediate compensation of load variations between punches – to insure smooth, continuous produc-tion. The main motor has been rated to permit the start of the machine at any speed, under maximum load – without any difficulty.

The Controlssuperior capability in a user-friendly format

A new feature of the TRP 700/900 is the remote electri-cal cabinet and a user-friendly operator touch screen. The cabinet complies with IP54 and features a closed-loop heat exchanger. The TRP 700/900 features a modular control system design, on a Siemens or Allen-Bradley PLC platform. A press force control system with fuzzy logic control, and a single tablet rejection system can be installed for virtually any product. For pharmaceutical applications, the control system features an electronic event log. capability to track machine adjustments, alarms, and product recipes.Option: SCADA systems Win CC or Wonderware.

The Feeding Systemconsistent filling and dosing at high speed

The TRP 700/900 can be provided with a gravity feed frame, or if required, a variable speed force feeding system. These feeding systems are designed to eliminate the effect of head pressure to insure consistent filling throughout the batch. A level control system is provided for gravity feed systems to insure reproducible filling in a wide variety of technical applications.
