ECO IV

The Elizabeth ECO IV is a double-sided rotary tablet press engineered for medium- to high-volume production across pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, confectionery, and industrial applications.

>250,000/hr Max Output

27, 35, or 45 Stations

6.5 Ton Main Pressure

Designed for scalable output and consistent performance, it supports multiple tooling configurations and delivers strong throughput within a compact, production-ready footprint. With up to 45 stations and maximum output exceeding 250,000 tablets per hour depending on tooling selection, the ECO IV provides flexibility for manufacturers running IPT-D, IPT-B, or IPT-BB tooling.

Equipped with a PLC-based control system and color touch screen HMI, the ECO IV allows operators to manage turret speed, feeder speed, batch counts, and production data directly from the front of the machine. Combined with a double paddle force feeder, enclosed compression zone, and integrated safety interlocks, the ECO IV offers controlled, high-output tablet production for growing operations.

Scalable Output & Control

The Elizabeth ECO IV is designed for manufacturers who require higher output, process control, and flexibility in medium- to high-volume tablet production. As a double-sided rotary tablet press, it increases production capacity while maintaining precise control over compression parameters, making it suitable for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, confectionery, and select industrial applications.

The double rotary configuration allows the ECO IV to operate with up to 45 stations, depending on tooling selection, and achieve output exceeding 250,000 tablets per hour. This makes it well suited for companies scaling production or consolidating multiple lower-capacity presses into a single, higher-efficiency platform. Tooling options including IPT-D, IPT-B, and IPT-BB provide flexibility across a range of tablet sizes and formats.

The ECO IV integrates a PLC-based control system with a front-mounted color touch screen HMI, allowing operators to manage turret speed, feeder speed, synchronization ratios, batch counts, and production data directly from the control panel. Recipe storage, alarm history, production tracking, and configurable speed limits support repeatability and controlled manufacturing environments.

Built with an enclosed compression zone isolated from the drive compartment, double paddle force feeder, centralized automatic lubrication system, and door interlock safety controls, the ECO IV is engineered for consistent operation and straightforward maintenance. It provides a practical solution for manufacturers who need dependable throughput, modern control capability, and scalable production performance.

Main Features and Benefits

Double-Sided Rotary Configuration

Increases production capacity by compressing tablets on both sides of the turret for higher overall output.

Up to 45 Stations

Supports multiple tooling configurations to match production volume and tablet size requirements.

High Output Capacity

Delivers production exceeding 250,000 tablets per hour depending on tooling and setup.

IPT-D, IPT-B, and IPT-BB Compatibility

Provides flexibility to run a wide range of tablet diameters and formats.

PLC-Controlled Color Touch Screen HMI

Allows operators to control turret speed, feeder speed, synchronization rations, and batch settings from a centralized interface.

Recipe Management & Production Tracking

Enables storage of process parameters and access to production records for repeatability and documentation.

Double Paddle Force Feeder

Improves powder flow and die filling, especially for difficult or poor-flowing formulations.

Enclosed Compression Zone

Isolates the compression area from the drive compartment to support cleaner operation and improved process control.

Central Automatic Lubrication System

Ensures consistent lubrication of critical components to reduce wear and simplify maintenance.
