QUADRO VAC FOR THE TABLET PRESS

 

Problem 1

A vitamin tableting company was looking for a solution to minimize dust in their tablet press suites.

Quadro Vac Solution

Quadro provided a mini 3L size Quadro Vac that fitted perfectly on the tablet press. A single Quadro Vac was used to feed the two feed hoppers of the press. The Quadro Vac was equipped with a simple mechanical level sensor that stopped the operation of the Quadro Vac when the tablet press feed hopper was full. Operation of the Quadro Vac resumed, as the granules in the press feed hopper was used up by the press.

Summary

Dust free conveying of the granules from drums to the press. This reduced the time required for cleaning the room after each product and eliminated product contamination due to dusting. A total of 10 units were supplied for all 10 tablet presses.

 

Problem 2

A pharmaceutical customer approached Quadro for a solution to their tablet conveying problem. They wanted to convey the tablets with no damage.

Quadro Vac Solution

Quadro worked with the company to achieve a solution using the Quadro Vac. The Quadro Vac was supplied with a silicone bladder, one piece step-free inlet and a dampener to allow for gentle closing of the dump gate. It was also recommended that the customer collected the tablets in a container with a soft lining.

Summary

Tablets were conveyed with very insignificant damage, acceptable to this customer.
