The 8-ton Stokes Model 747 is a versatile, double-sided tablet press designed to produce tablets up to 16 mm in diameter, equipped with pre-compression capabilities. This feature ensures uniform compaction before final compression, resulting in consistent tablet density and weight, important for maintaining high-quality standards, especially in pharmaceutical tablet production. The machine's compatibility with B tooling enhances its adaptability, allowing for varied tablet making. Its remote control functionality also offers increased operational flexibility, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing environments or situations where direct machine access is limited.
Built for durability, the Stokes Model 747 is well-suited to withstand the demands of continuous, high-volume production. Its robust construction promises long-term reliability, an essential factor for busy production lines. The user-friendly interface of the machine streamlines the operational process, reducing the learning curve for new operators and thereby maximizing productivity while minimizing downtime. Safety, a primary concern in its design, is addressed through various integrated safeguards, ensuring operator protection and compliance with industry safety regulations. The machine's maintenance and cleaning processes are simple, with easy access to parts facilitating quick servicing and minimal production interruption.
Hinged Aprons for Easy Punch Access: Allows for quick and easy access to punches for maintenance or replacement without the need to remove feeders, reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency. This design enhances the serviceability of tablet press machines, streamlining maintenance tasks allowing for continuous tablet production. Such features contribute significantly to maintaining high performance and reliability in tablet making machinery, supporting consistent output and quality.
Optional Sensor to Prevent Punch and Cam Wear: Automatically shuts down the press if the upper punches become too tight, preventing damage to punches and cams, which can be costly to replace. This safeguard is integrated into these tablet press machines to protect critical components, minimizing repair expenses and downtime. This functionality not only preserves the longevity of the tablet making machinery but also ensures consistent tablet production quality by avoiding mechanical failures.
Stainless Steel Die Table Dust Collection Nozzles: Keeps the machine cleaner for longer periods, reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, and ensuring a more hygienic tablet production environment. This feature is particularly beneficial in tablet press machines, as it enhances operational efficiency and maintains cleanliness standards critical for producing high-quality tablets. The reduced need for frequent upkeep supports continuous operation and productivity in this tablet making machinery.
Upper and Lower Punch Seals on Turrets to Extend Tooling Lifespan: These seals protect the tooling from wear and contamination, prolonging their usable life and ensuring consistent tablet quality. This protective feature is a significant advantage in these tablet presses, enhancing the durability and reliability of the tooling essential for tablet production. By maintaining the integrity of the tooling, these seals help ensure that the tablet compression machine continues to produce high-quality tablets with uniformity across batches.
Hopper Sensor for Low Powder Notification: Alerts the operator when powder levels are low, ensuring continuous production without interruptions and maintaining consistent tablet quality. This feature is vital in tablet compression machines, allowing for seamless operation and consistent output. By preventing downtime due to insufficient powder, this alert system enhances the efficiency of the tablet press, ensuring that tablet manufacturing processes remain uninterrupted and that every tablet meets quality standards.
Motor-Driven Mechanical Feeders with Star Wheels: Enhances die filling, increasing production speed and efficiency, which is important for meeting high-volume manufacturing demands. This improvement significantly boosts the performance of tablet compression machines, allowing for faster and more efficient tablet production. By optimizing the die filling process, this feature enables tablet presses to handle larger production volumes effortlessly, so manufacturing targets are met efficiently and effectively.
Automatic Lubrication System for Smooth Operation: Consistently oils upper and lower punches, leading to smoother operation, reduced wear, and longer machine life. This maintenance feature is key for the longevity and efficiency of tablet press machines. By providing regular lubrication, it helps maintain optimal functioning in tablet compression machinery, reducing the frequency of repairs and extending the lifespan of the equipment. This consistent care supports tablet production by ensuring that machines operate smoothly and efficiently, which is essential for high-quality tablet output.
