Romaco Kilian has introduced the KTP 1X single-stroke press from Romaco with sustainable processing and packaging technologies. Romaco focuses on sustainability and cost efficiency as a key development priority. Targeted energy, space and material savings not only reduce production costs, but also the carbon footprint of the machines. To this end, the Romaco machines can be supplied with energy monitors and are also available in a carbon-neutral version. For the pharma and nutraceutical industries it features climate-friendly production of paper blisters with the Romaco Noack blister line technology. 
 

The KTP 1X is the newest generation of Romaco Kilian’s R&D tablet presses for laboratory use. This single-stroke press was designed as an all-in-one instrument for research and development activities. It is suitable for pressing mono-layer, bi- layer and triple-layer tablets as well as tab-in-tab formats. It achieves a maximum output of 1800 tablets per hour and compression forces of up to 80 kN. This R&D press enables the various tableting parameters, such as compression force or the possible tableting speed, to be determined automatically. The smart measurement system evaluates large amounts of data in next to no time for this purpose, according to the company. The KTP 1X is moreover capable of replicating any standard rotary press, making it much easier to conduct scale-up trials. In addition to the production of clinical samples, the technology also allows detailed troubleshooting and hence supports process optimization. 
 

This high measuring accuracy goes hand in hand with extremely low product consumption. Also, according to the company, only a few test series are required to obtain meaningful results because compression studies are highly automated. With its very small compaction area, Romaco Kilian’s KTP 1X has a small footprint and is quick and easy to clean.
