Technical & Chemical Applications

For more than 40 years, KORSCH has developed new technology for the technical markets, including  multi-layer, ringed pellets, and special shapes – all designed to operate in harsh, 24/7 environments.

The 4th Generation

The XL 4004 offers a new level of innovation and advancement, while maintaining the flexibility that is the hallmark of the XL 400 design. Smarter and featuring a complete new control system interface the machine offers an intuitive operating experience. The integration of the electrical cabinet, a sealed machine design without cooling fans or vents, and the use of an advanced torque drive enhance the proven design of the XL 400 platform. 

1 Common XL 4004 Platform, 2 Machine Models


The XL 400 design offers a single-layer only (SFP), and a flexible single and multi-layer (MFP) capability in two machine models that share a common platform, and fully interchangeable components. Further advantages are the identical control systems and HMI environment, process equivalent design for direct product transfer or the common procedures for setup, changeover, and turret exchange between both machines.

Multi-Layer Expertise

The XL XL 4004 fullfills the special requirements of Multi-Layer tabletting including the following features:

  • Retracting feeder design for fully automated layer sampling at production speeds.
  • Monitoring of individual force at the tamping and final compression stations with closed loop control of each layer weight
  • Single Tablet Rejection based on layer tamping force and final compression force with reject log
  • No Cross-Contamination with zero clearance feeders 

Unique Flexibility

The XL 400 MFP features an modified carrier plate and head piece that permits the installation of a wide range of conversion kits consisting in compression roller modules, feeder modules, and cam track modules that permit a “plug and play” approach for maximum versatility. 

Superior Accessibility by Design

The innovative carrier plate design of the XL 400 eliminates the traditional corner columns and offers extreme access to the compression zone. The combination of smooth surfaces and quick-disconnects permit fast cleaning and changeover. The routing of the dust extraction hoses through a dedicated chamber contributes to the great serviceability of the XL 4004.

Smart HMI

The control system interface provides an intuitive operating environment and Smart-Touch HMI, which permits move, zoom, and scroll gestures. The HMI environment offers a comprehensive onboard help capability, which includes a vast array of multi-media help files to present procedures and to support the operation and maintenance. 

Minimal Noise and Vibration

The unique and patented design of the carrier plate, with dampers, fully isolates vibration from the head piece and machine base. The result is:

  • Very low noise emission <  80 dB(A)
  • No vibration transmission to the floor of the compression room
  • No segregation of powder in the feeding system wich can occur with machine vibration
