Compaction Simulation / Emulation
Building on the capabilities of the NP-RD10A benchtop tablet press (discussed in our previous article on USP <1062>), our services are further enhanced by the integration of the Presster™ compaction emulator. This state-of-the-art tool is designed to replicate the compaction dynamics of production tablet presses in a laboratory setting. It allows for tangible fine-tuning of the compression cycle, providing an accurate depiction of how a tableting formulation will behave under commercial manufacturing conditions. Using the Presster, Natoli Scientific can simulate full-scale production, permitting us to forecast problems before they escalate to costly production delays. Our experts can optimize the tablet design for our clients, ensuring a smooth transition from laboratory to production while adhering to the rigorous standards set by the industry including the current USP <1062> chapter.
This highly advanced instrumented emulator can acquire real time force-displacement data under any compression condition.
The combination of Natoli’s NP-RD10A and the Presster is a surefire way to ensure precision during the compression process and the ability to deliver tablets of the highest caliber. For more information about our advanced compaction simulation and emulation services, visit our website or call us at 636-926-8900 today.
The Presster can test a single tablet at production speed from a library of press models including Fette, Korsch, Romaco, Syntegon.
