Weight Regulation
Each layer counts
- Measurement of single press forces for each layer
- Sensitive instrumentation for low tamping forces
- Closed loop feedback to each dosing cam
- Single tablet rejection: based on layer tamping force and final compression force with reject log

Multi-Layer in Containment
There is a clear trend in the Pharmaceutical Industry toward the continued development of potent compounds in various tablet formats including single and multi-layer, which require specialized technology that is both safe and flexible. This is the driver for the KORSCH XL 400 MFP WipCon® Tablet Press, which offers single-layer, bi-layer, and tri-layer flexibility in a wash-in-place and fully contained system, with capability to OEB 5.
