Turret and product change overs now even faster on PTK tablet presses

The continuous improvement program of PTK has yielded significant improvements in their turret change system, bringing their technology in line with that of European rivals.


The continuous improvement program of PTK has yielded significant improvements in their turret change system, bringing their technology in line with that of European rivals.

PTK tablet presses now contain both upper and lower punches on turret change, driving down turret change times even lower with complete machine change over achievable in 30 minutes.

Change over times can be optimised using additional change parts with spare turrets pre-tooled to include the lower tooling.

Easy to remove lower cams, quick release dust extraction and removable turret, means access for cleaning is made very easy with proven real life product changes at sub 2 hours.

Removable turret system benefits:

  • Faster product to product change over.

  • Easier production planning and preparation as machine turrets can be made ready in advance.

  • The ability to clean to a higher standard and offline.

  • Configure the machine to maximise output through optimum tooling to product size selection.

  • The precision drive coupling gives the strength of a fixed turret machine, so make tablets up to 100KN.

  • Improved engineering access over fixed turret machines.

  • Keep the initial investment down by buying the option, and add different turret sizes at a later date.

The precision drive coupling enables the operator to exchange the turrets with perfect repeatability. Ensuring stable, vibration free high speed production.

Tooling compatibility:
EU35, EU 1” 441 type, EUD, EUB, EUBB, BBS and FS12/13 tooling types are all available, making PTK tablet presses a flexible, highly efficient benefit to any manufacturing plant.
