Fette Compacting F30i

The F30i tablet press from Fette Compacting is efficient, compact, fast, and extremely energy-saving. The powerful double rotary press is optimized for two-layer tablets. It impresses with its dust resistance, containment capability, system compatibility, and connectivity to Pharma 4.0.

The F30i features extremely fast sampling of the first layer, by means of which the tablet weight can be precisely monitored and controlled. The mechanism works with an electro-pneumatic pressure roller adjustment and ensures that sufficiently hard tablets are produced quickly during the sampling of the first layer. At the same time, it reduces product loss to a minimum. The F30i also places a high priority on operator protection and a high level of user-friendliness.

The machine has a wide speed range and therefore enables the production of a wide variety of tablets with precise dosing. The solid, cooperative partnership between Fette Compacting and Baum��ller has yielded a compact drive system that benefits from constant speeds and high concentricity, increases the system��s energy efficiency by 15 percent, and improves its ecological footprint.

The perfect interaction of controller and motor made it possible to realize a machine with an output of up to 1.6 million tablets per hour. A direct drive (high-torque motor) is used to drive the large double rotary press. A blind hollow shaft motor was used for the purpose. This allows the machine spindle to plunge directly into the motor. Moreover, coaxial encoder mounting is possible thanks to a pre-assembled encoder kit. The encoder kit is a mechanical unit that is installed in the machine and can be quickly replaced if necessary. Another advantage is that the engagement position, i.e. the position of the rotor in the stator, does not have to be set up again.

The b maXX 5534 servo converter controls the water-cooled DST2-315 high-torque motor. The combination was optimally tailored to the F30i tablet press.

The powder is also fed with the assistance of Baum��ller technology. For this purpose, surface-cooled DSDI-036 motors with converter and worm gear are used. The challenge here was to design the motor to be as compact as possible and to fit exactly into the intended dimensions. The two filling drives ensure that powder is continuously fed into the compression chamber, so constant speeds are crucial here. Baum��ller also undertook the drive dimensioning and initial commissioning of the new direct drive of the tablet press.

The cooperation between Fette Compacting and Baum��ller has been going on for more than 15 years and is based on trust and cooperative partnership at eye level.
