Stainless Steel Hopper This feature provides vertical adjustment and lock provision. Dust Removal Suction Nozzles Nozzles are positioned above and below the die table for clean operation. Adjustable Upper Roll The roll permits compacting of tablets at various points in the die in order to extend die life. This feature minimizes capping and laminating of tablets. Handwheel Control Controls press speeds, fill and pressure settings. Keywayed Upper Punch Sockets Provides punch alignment when producing tablets of irregular shape.
