Machine Features
- Compression forces of up to 150 kN.
- Single-layer and double-layer capability.
- Pre-compression up to 10 kN is achieved using a pre-compression cam for extended dwell times, resulting in better powder deaeration and more uniform granule distribution in the die prior to final compression.
- Maximum fill depth of 40 mm.
- Take-off system available for the horizontal removal of fragile tablets.
- Isolated and sealed compression zone for powder confinement.
- Tablet weight control based on force measurement.
- Large double-paddle forced feeder with individual drives for each paddle.
- Tool holders with high-pressure heads and cam-rolling bearings reduce wear and tear on the cams and compression rollers..
- Punch tips in steel, stainless steel or tungsten carbide.
- Multi-tip design available for solid tablets.
- Nickel-coated steel turret, forged in one piece, features replaceable wear plates.
- Standalone electrical cabinet.
- Siemens PLC for machine control,/ industrial PC for database and MultiControl5 system with a user-friendly 21.5-inch HD touchscreen.
- Highly rigid cast iron frame and high-tension chassis.
- Dust extraction nozzles.
- Stainless steel housing.
- Fully GMP-compliant design.
- Automatic punch lubrication system.
- When equipped with a die wall and punch face lubrication systems, the R233 is the ideal machine for the high-speed compression of effervescent tablets.

GEA Insights
The breakthrough that changed spray drying
In 1976, NIRO engineers responded to a competitive challenge by rethinking what spray drying could do. Their idea became the multi-stage dryer MSD. Fifty years later, the same fundamental principle helps turn liquids into the powders used in essential nutrition products and important medicines around the world. Refined through decades of engineering expertise, customer insight and continuous development, MSD is a story of innovation with lasting impact.
Das Ganze im Blick: Wie Anlagen dauerhaft besser laufen
Eine effiziente Maschine macht noch keine effiziente Produktion. Echte Verbesserungen beginnen oft damit, den Blick über die einzelnen Anlagenelemente hinaus zu richten und zu verstehen, wie sich Prozesse, Energiesysteme und betriebliche Entscheidungen gegenseitig beeinflussen. Ein solcher ganzheitlicher Ansatz hilft beim Identifizieren von Potenzialen, die sonst verborgen bleiben.
Wie eine neue Ventiltechnologie die Produktion von Lebensmitteln und Getränken verändert
In der Lebensmittel- und Getränkeindustrie werden Ventile traditionell mit Druckluft betrieben. Die GEA Hydract®-Antriebstechnologie betätigt Ventile dagegen mit Wasser in einem geschlossenen, digital gesteuerten Kreislauf. Das Ergebnis: Ventile lassen sich präzise in jeder gewünschten Position halten und in fein abgestuften Schritten steuern. Dadurch sinken der Energieverbrauch und gleichzeitig steigt die Prozesskontrolle erheblich.
