Natoli
In business for more than 40 years, Natoli Engineering offers high-quality tablet compression tooling, parts and accessories, as well as tablet presses that range from full-size industrial machines to benchtop laboratory presses.
Natoli has now launched the NP-RD20, a single station laboratory press that presents new opportunities for pharmaceutical R&D. Ideal for use during formulation development, the NP-RD20 produces product in small quantities to test and simulate dwell time and compaction on a production press. This significantly reduces product loss and can provide multiple benefits as production is scaled up.
This automated, mobile press allows the operator to program aspects of tablet production, including precompression parameters and dwell time, on a color touchscreen display. Hydraulics allow for automatic tablet compression and ejection.
The NP-RD20 also has data acquisition capabilities that can be used to collect and track test results, including compression curve and elasticity in single and bi-layer tablets.
Other features include quick tooling changeover and acceptance of both TSM and EU tooling in sizes B, D and F in standard, core rod or multi-tip configuration.
The NP-RD20 is CE compliant and can run on 110 or 220v power. Standard safety features include Lexan guards and two-hand, no-tie-down controls.
