The Hata CVX range of interchangeable turret tablet press is extended by virtue of both bi-layer and tri-layer capabilities on the same press. A patented sealed feed frame system, which includes special vacuum ports in front of each feed shoe, eliminates the possibility of cross-contamination and ensures ultra-clean tablet layer demarcation. CVX multi-layer presses can quickly be converted between single, bi-layer, and tri-layer configurations without sacrifice to product speed and tablet quality.
