GEA's Highly Versatile Industrial R55 Rotary Press
From nuclear fuel pellets, hard metals, catalysts, automotive parts and batteries to
confectionery, almost anything is possible with the R55 rotary press
he R55 rotary press offers single-layer tablet and component
production for a wide range of powder product processing applications
at compression forces of up to 130 kN. The compression
zone is completely sealed off from the technical zones for reduced
maintenance. Complex shapes (maximum outer diameter of 60 mm
and die filling depth of 55 mm) are easily accommodated.
The proprietary GEA punch holder design features a high-pressure
head for long-lasting and trouble-free high force compaction
and includes bearings on the side of the head for wear reduction.
The punch tip in contact with
the powder is interchangeable
and can be made from a choice
of materials for optimal wear
resistance.
A pre-compression cam applies
a force on the punch holder
bearings for gentle deaeration
of the powder for a longer time
compared with a pre-compression
roller, thereby reducing the
risk of end-capping.
The large top and bottom
compression rollers ensure perfectly
symmetrical compression
T
and traveling air compensators ensure the constant density of each
tablet. As such, any tablet length variation is proportional to the
weight variation. When constant tablet height is required, the compensators
are preloaded with the maximum force allowed for punch
safety and a strain gauge measures the compression force for tablet
weight control. Real tablet density control can be performed using
the Inline Density Control system.
A hold-down/hold-up system controls tablet expansion during
the ejection process to prevent cracks in the tablets. And, thanks
to the bearings on the punch holders, much higher ejection forces
are possible compared with classical mushroom head punches.
A customized star wheel allows for horizontal evacuation of tablets,
thereby preventing soft tablets becoming damaged before
sintering.
Supplied with either 12 or 16 stations, the R55 is a leap forward
in industrial single output tableting. The latest available technologies,
including servo drives, have been implemented for maximum
flexibility, high precision tableting, enhanced operator safety and
minimized maintenance. Double-sided industrial rotary presses are
available for multi-layer production or higher output requirements.
Finally, customer service is much more than providing spare
parts, it's about keeping customers happy and their plant performing
well, years after the initial sale. That's fundamental to GEA.
