RIVA MiniPress Single Punch Tablet Press
RIVA MiniPress
Single Punch Tablet Press
The RIVA MiniPress is a single punch, off-center, tablet press. It is ideal for the production of small batches as well as for Pharmaceutical Research & Development. It is designed under strict GMP regulations.
Easy Access
The smart design of the RIVA MiniPress makes it easy to mount/dismount the Punch-Die set, operate the machine and clean it quickly and easily. On the other hand, the compression compartment is easily accessible and is closed by means of a detachable transparent acrylic panels equipped with safety sensors. Furthermore, the removable parts are equipped with quick release clamps mechanism for a quick disassembly for service and cleaning.
Operating Principle
The gravity fill shoe performs an oscillating movement induced by the central crankshaft. It is connected to the hopper by a flexible tube. The pressure system is designed to stand up to 60 KN. The pressure is automatically adjusted according to the filling level of the die.
This can be regulated by adjusting the upper punch penetration by means of the crankshaft. The filling volume of the die can be adjusted by regulating the weight cam at the lower central shaft of the punch holder. All contact parts are made of GMP Compliant materials and can be sterilized in accordance with GMP.
