Pharma Technology Inc. (PTI) has introduced an in-process tablet tester for its All In One (AIO) Tablet Deduster and Tester. The AIO Deduster and Tester System builds on the company’s PharmaFlex family of dedusters by offering turnkey peripheral devices as integrated systems.

The company’s AIO Deduster and Tester System combines three units on one GMP base. First is PTI’s PharmaFlex segmented deduster spiral, which is composed of high-tech, pressure-molded polymer segments or 316 stainless-steel segmented spirals (each stainless-steel segment has a vertical height of 500 mm). Second is one of the company’s three pharmaceutical metal detectors: Ceia, Lock, or Safeline. The third component is a high-precision, in-process tablet tester for weight, hardness, and thickness. Following recent upgrades, the AIO’s tester now offers these features:

• Vacuum transfer (as opposed to Venturi transfer) and filter providing dust-free transfer of samples to tester

• Tool-free dismantling of all product contact parts for easy cleaning

• Dust-tight segregation of technical areas

The tester can be positioned on any of three sides on the deduster’s base and offers push-fit, cable-free connections for power and data storage. This creates a compact fit, eliminating the need for additional vacuum conveying pipes and cables. The tester also contains an advanced scale generation that eliminates most manufacturing interference. The result is streamlined performance of tableting machinery with less operator supervision required for monitoring and controlling the manufacturing process.

Other advantages of the AIO PharmaFlex Deduster and Tester System include the following:

• Excellent dedusting and deburring performances via air-pulsing and powder extraction technology

• Low noise emission (less than 70 dB)

• Vibration effect cancellation, which means no vibration is transferred from main deduster segment to ancillary equipment

• Sophisticated design for full tablet emptying and zero tablet traps

• Fast product changeover via an exchangeable deduster module as well as the ability to wash the exchangeable deduster module

• Tablets conveyed to the IPC tester through a vacuum that removes dust
