NOTURA® SMART TOOL by NOTTER
The sustainable solution for efficient product use: In the pharmaceutical industry, production-related validation and galenic development consume relatively large and often precious quantities of product. The NOTURA® Smart Tool avoids damage to the tool and the pressure roller due to the pressing forces, regardless of the production speed. A robust patented solution creates a counter force in the NOTURA® Smart Tool punch.
Until now, there were only two options to reduce the use of products:
1. Running the machine at a slower speed. Disadvantage: No representative data
2. Operation at production speed with a single punch. Disadvantage: Damage to punch and pressure roller due to the constant repeated acceleration of the pressure roller
SOLUTION: Maximum practical relevance. Minimal cost.
With the NOTURA® Smart Tool it is finally possible to test tablet compression with a small amount of product on a single station with the punch to be tested.
At the remaining test stations, the NOTURA® Smart Tool simulates the function of the tablet punch without pressing the product.
This innovative solution now offers developers valid, scalable data for their production processes – while using as little product as possible.
Case study: Tool breakages
The customer decided to follow NOTTER's recommendation. Under the intensive supervision of an application consultant, the composite tools were replaced with NOTTER mono multi-tip tools featuring the same number of tips and the process was optimized for the new, higher-performance tool. Once the work was complete, the customer was able to immediately increase their output by 30%. There is even the potential to double the output in the future by increasing the number of tips.
- 30% more output
- Shorter cleaning time
- Less downtime
- Personnel savings
