TRUE UN-MANNED OPERATION

• Allow the press to modulate itself to maintain perfect tablet weight.
• Reject single out of specification tablets at high speed.
• Auto sample at programmable intervals
• The HMI system records all production data and setting changes for 100% traceability.
• With automated on line Hardness and thickness checks -go ‘lights out’ and manufacture in the most efficient way.
• With over 50 alarm parameters, the PR2000 is a trusted machine to stay ‘home alone’

SINGLE TABLET REJECT AT FULLSPEED

• Run the press at its output limits at all times, safe in the knowledge it is self policing with our automatic weight regulation and single tablet reject control.  
• At a glance, clear and intuitive graphics show machine condition and reject status.
• An intricate alarm structure safely flags production issues.
• Control tablet uniformity by tightening control parameters as required

       SOFTWARE CONTROL & REPORTING

                                                              "Easy ,Reliable Operation Guarenteed"

• The PR2000 benifits from a large 19.5 inch multiple touchscreen based system designed for efficient operator use.
• CFR Part 11 compliant secure software.
• PTK controls are based on standard PLC design, offering a Omron platform. The result is an extremely robust and reliable system which can be supported on-site.
  
  
• Software control areas include:
  • Primary screen (feeder speeds, fill depth, roll positions, turret speed, tablet counter, load cell viewing, product naming.....)
  • PWR Screen - Automatic Weight Control for single tablet reject, Real time Kn readings for Pre/Main, Individual punches, punch safety Kn settings.
  • Real Time Load Monitoring and safety limit setting- Shows real time Kn graphs for upper, lower punch tighness, ejection cam forces
  • Secondary screen (lubrication, turret change, de-duster on/off, sampling, low level sensors, powder loading options, in-flow agitator option, temperature montioring option.
  • Product Screen - Save and recall all saved products, print product setting / reports, automatic product load button sets up the press with just one button.
  • Safety Screen - shows all machine alarms, in depth description of alarm and action to be taken. Also shows full alarm status and history.
  • Reports - Operator log on, Machine settings change, Safety alarm reports, weight control reports showing every tablet compression. PR2000 reporting is comprehensive and records and saves every eliment of machine usage. All data can be examined weekly, monthly or yearly to compare data, troubleshoot problematic products or be used for audit purposes.
  • User / Group Managment Level Screen
    - setup different levels of machine use.
    Set user groups, setup operators,
    sensior engineers.

OEE SOFTWARE

• Monitor real time efficiency performance
• See live batch progress
• Collate efficiency data for off line evaluation
• Inform operators of their real time performance focussing their attention on ‘Up Time’
• Fully compatible with Network and SCADA systems.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

• Where temperature control is required the machine can be equipped with a water cooled main motor.
• Localised cooling is delivered with vortex tube technology, giving programmable temperature control in the compression zone.
• PEEK contact parts and auto lube system adjustment assist in eradicating frictional heat generation during operation.

PRECESION COUPLING

• A hardened precision coupling is used to connect the machine to each turret.
• Ensures repeatable turret re-location to hundredths of a millimetre.
• Eliminates wear and vibration due to direct opposing lock of turret to machine.
• Allows complete accuracy of the turret’s rotary position at all times.

CAM MONITORING

• Precision enigneered cams in a choice of materials to best suit client powders.
• Fill cam depth upto 22mm monitored by sensor switch under cam.
• Weight Rail cam and load cell monitors lower punch tightness as well as controls tablet weight from central weight control system.
• Ejection cam and load cell monitors ejection
  forces.
• Punch loading section - empty cam sensor.
• Upper punch tightness cam monitoring

MULTIPLE FEEDER VARIATIONS - POOR FLOWING POWDERS

• Rotory Feeder - 3 Chamber or Open Feeder options
• Capable of handling a broad range of powder types.
• Range of impellers available to suit all applications.
• Servo motor driven for accuracy and alarm integration.
• Feeder speed linked to turret speed for
  ease of machine setting.
• Hi and low capacity inserts for processing
  of large or small sized tablets
• Zero clearance inserts can be added for
  good flowing powders.

AUTOMATIC TABLETTING CONTROL

• 3 channel system for handling Good, Reject and Sample tablets.
• Automated with the weight regulation system to ensure 100% of tablets entering the good stream are monitored.
• Equipped with sensors to check gate positions and ensure rejects do not enter the good tablet stream.
• Sampling gate can be run manually or timed intervals.

IMPROVED POWDER FLOW

• Hopper designed for optimum flow and to eliminate bridging.
• Smooth bore entry to the feeder to maintain powder uniformity.
• Sensor monitoring to ensure the machine stops on batch completion.
• PTK developed powder handling from hopper to feeder, to uniformly present powder without separation, aeration or bridging to deliver homogeneous product at the fill point
• Hopper and feeder geometries developed to handle poor powders.

SIMPLE, MODULAR, COST-EFFICIENT DESIGN

• Robust 2 column design for ease of access and lower surface area.
• Contained compression zone to minimise cleaning surfaces
• Complete extraction system is quick release.
• Internal vacuum hoses eliminated, so no hoses to remove from the inside of the press.
• Labelled and fool proofed connections for ease of assembly
• Tool-less assembly of change over parts.

PUNCH PROTECTION - SOFT START

• To combat punch overloading when accelerating or decelerating to and from high speed, the machine rapidly relieves pressure until full operating speed is achieved.
• The machine will only accept good tablets
  and controls variations on machine start
  and stop.
• This function is selectable so only used
  when necessary.

PROCESS ANALYTICAL CONTROLL (PAT) TECHNOLOGY

• Output Tablet samples for automated Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR) sampling
• Integrate with automated test systems to check weight hardness, thickness and feedback to the press to override the machines Primary Control settings.
• PTK’s in house Software Engineers facilitate all up/downstream integration as part of the project process.
