Single Rotary Tablet Press Receives iF and red dot Seals of Approval
Fette Compacting is shining on the international design stage again this year. A market leader in tablet presses, the company succeeded in impressing the international juries of two famous design prizes with the second model of the FE series, the FE35, launched at the ACHEMA 2012 trade fair in Frankfurt. A single rotary press, the FE35 can be fitted with up to 51 punch stations, permitting the production of up to 370,000 tablets per hour.
On 22 February 2013, the FE35 was awarded the iF product design award 2013 in the course of the Munich Creative Business Week (MCBW). It is amongst the products selected from a total of 3,011 entries. From July 2013, the FE35, together with all the other winning products, will be on virtual display in the new permanent exhibition at the HafenCity Hamburg.
The grant of the next prize was then announced at the beginning of March by selection for the red dot design award for product design 2013. At the awards ceremony on 1 July 2013, the FE35 will be honoured for its accomplishments in innovation, ergonomics and functionality. Its design has therefore won through as one of 4,662 products entered.
“I am extremely happy that, following the success of the FE55, we have again been given such high recognition for our second product in the FE series,” said Olaf J. Müller, CEO of Fette Compacting. “Every year we not only manage to impress the market through technical innovation but we also set standards in product design and that is an impressive performance on the part of our entire team.”
The iF design award honours outstanding design as determined by an international jury of experts. Manufacturers and designers from the product, communication and packaging design fields can enter the three disciplines of the competition. World-famous firms as well as medium-sized companies, agencies and design consultancies take part. The iF design awards are amongst the largest and most important international design competitions.
The red dot design award is one of the largest and most well-known design competitions in the world. In 2012, about 1,800 companies and designers from 58 countries entered themselves for the red dot award: product design, taking the chance to demonstrate their design skills through international comparison with famous designers and emerging talents.
