Segment Turret Increases Production Up to 40%

Using Pmax segment turrets with FS12 punches, customers are able to increase the output quantity of the tabletting process by up to 40% in the same production time. The Pmax segment turret is available with 45, 66 and 110 stations for the i-Generation and with 51 and 87 stations for the FE-Generation.

Up to 1.3 million tablets and more per hour can be pressed in the Fette Compacting 3090i double-sided rotary press. Pmax technology is crucial for this capacity. The segment turret with FS12 punches is equipped with 110 stations. This is possible because the punches, with a shaft diameter of 12 mm, are much smaller than conventional ones and therefore require a smaller distance between the die holes.

The maximum compression force is reduced in comparison with other standard punches. The compression force of 25 kN is sufficient for most products in the pharmaceutical sector.

Production efficiency can be significantly optimised with Pmax technology without additional investment.
