Innovative Tablet Press

The XL 4004 features smart Industry 4.0 capability, both in a single-layer only and a flexible execution, which permits the production of single-layer, bi-layer, tri-layer, tablet-in-tablet, and microchip-in-tablet product formats – all on a common machine platform.  

Features include an integrated electrical cabinet for a smaller footprint, a torque drive to deliver optimal performance, a fully sealed machine design, and a fast-change capability to drive gains in uptime and efficiency. Based on the latest Allen-Bradley ControlLogix PLC, and featuring a completely redesigned HMI environment, the XL 4004  offers an intuitive operating experience, with integrated online help, including access to manuals, schematics, procedures, and support videos directly at the machine.

Offering a dedicated single-layer capability, the XL 4004 SFP features an ergonomic, accessible design and the fastest changeover of any machine in its class. An exchangeable turret execution with internal lift device permits the production of any size tablet on a single machine. Designed with a 100 kN precompression column, a 100 kN main compression column, and an innovative compression dwell bar between the compression stations, the XL 4004 SFP is rugged and robust. With a maximum press speed of 120 RPM and an extended feeder length, the XL 4004 SFP is geared for high-speed production with a maximum output of more than 300,000 tablets per hour.

Offering single-layer, bi-layer, tri-layer, tablet-in-tablet, and microchip-in-tablet capability in a single machine, the XL 4004 MFP can produce a tablet of any size, shape, and format. Its modular feeders, compression stations, and cam tracks allow the press to be reconfigured for all applications over the course of a normal changeover.
