Tablet production precisely under control – the Checkmaster CM-X from mechanical engineering specialist Fette Compacting tests tablets randomly and under level OEB4 containment conditions in interaction with the F10i, F20i and F30i tablet presses of the new i Series. Fette Compacting presented the tablet tester to the public for the first time at Powtech in Nuremberg, Germany.

HMI data entry prevents errors

The Checkmaster CM-X tests the tablets produced for the parameters weight, diameter, thickness, and breaking strength/hardness. The equipment thus supplements the range of tablet test devices already available.

Via the ergonomic Human-Machine-Interface (HMI) of the new i Series, the tablet tester is easy to operate while minimizing the risk of errors, as manual data entry is no longer required, shares the company. Operating the Checkmaster CM-X via the HMI terminal of the tablet presses in the new i Series leads to comprehensive data exchanges between the tablet press and the tablet tester, adds the firm.

Features for ultra-precise tests

The new Checkmaster CM-X features Smartfeed, Cleanfeed and Vibrafix as standard: Smartfeed refers to a new separation system with progressively controlled chute and automatic slope adjustment. This ensures that only one tablet falls into the test device at a time, mentions the company.

The Cleanfeed feature significantly reduces tablet dust inside the Checkmaster. Shielding from the negative pressure of the tablet press during sampling and measurement is automatic. Vibrafix supports the length alignment of the test tablets by precisely positioning and stabilizing them in the device during the breaking strength/hardness test.

Optional functions

Customers can also order the auto-alignment feature, which allows the device to adjust itself to the respective surface. This feature is particularly worthwhile for uneven surfaces or when the machine is often moved. An oblong centering unit (OZB) can also be ordered for tablets of unusual shape. And IQ/OQ documentation is available.

Now available for order

The device can be ordered with immediate effect exclusively through Fette Compacting. The delivery time for the initial series is about six months and will be significantly reduced thereafter.

This equipment was developed by Fette Compacting in collaboration with its long-standing partner Kraemer Elektronik and tested based on production scenarios.
