Robust Control Mechanisms in Protective Enclosure: Control mechanisms are safely enclosed in a NEMA 4X Stainless Steel enclosure with a Vortex cabinet cooler. This protection shields the controls from environmental factors, ensuring reliable operation and reducing the risk of malfunction.
Enhanced Safety with ABB Interlock System: The ABB Safety Interlock system for all doors, including the turn-over wheel cover, ensures operator safety, minimizing the risk of accidents and maintaining a safe working environment.
Precise Speed Control with AB PowerFlex Drives: The inclusion of advanced AB PowerFlex drives in the main and feeder motors allows for precise control over speed, enabling fine-tuning of the production process for optimal performance.
User-Friendly Push-Button Operations: Simple push-button controls for Start, Stop, Jog, and Emergency Stop make the machine easy to operate and quick to respond, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.
Cleanliness with Separated Compression and Motor Areas: The distinct separation between the compression area and the motor/utility zone enhances cleanliness, crucial for meeting stringent hygiene standards, especially in pharmaceutical and food production
Durable Tooling for High-Wear Applications: With tooling that features replaceable tips, the machine is optimal for high-wear applications. This design not only enhances the tooling’s lifespan but also reduces maintenance costs and downtime.
Efficient Powder Feeding with Open Style Feeder: The open-style mechanical feeder ensures a consistent flow of powder, which is crucial for maintaining the uniformity and quality of tablets throughout production runs.
Powerful 40 HP Motor for Large Tablets: Equipped with a large 40 HP motor, the machine is specially designed for high-tonnage compressions, ideal for producing large diameter tablets. This capability allows for versatility in production and the ability to meet diverse market demands.
Stable Heavy-Duty Design: The cast and welded construction of the Stokes Model 349 ensures stability during intensive runs, leading to consistent production quality and reduced vibration, which can extend the life of the machine.
