“Digital ready”: The next level of efficiency The i Series from Fette Compacting has stood for ultra-efficient and flexible tablet production for decades. The new i Series now offers even more possibilities thanks to numerous innovations. Clean, system compatible and “digital-ready” – from the dust-tight equipment to the connection to the “Pharmaceutical Production 4.0”. The i Series is the next-generation of tablet production. Technological platform Fette Compacting has collaborated with its customers to develop the new generation as a technological platform on which the electronic and mechanical...

The most important features at a glance: Containment Guard – dust-tight system design Cross-generation system compatibility Fast and intuitive cleaning HMI software with operating support RFID operator login Multi-flexible dust-tight tablet chute New HMI software Uniform interface for process equipment Assistance systems for easy operation location-independent machine monitoring Process and production reliability thanks to RFID Recipe-specific, reproducible hardware settings

Clean production: from dust-tight to containment Containment is becoming a core issue for production due to the increased use of new pharmaceuticals, including Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API). “Dust-tight” will become the minimum standard for pharmaceutical machines for the foreseeable future. The F30i already features consistent dust-tight design even in its most standard version. For all users who require containment, the Containment Guard-option provides a suitable solution.

System-compatible set-up to IoT and MES For several years, the i Series has been distinguished by its cross-generation system compatibility. The same applies to the F30i. Practically all products with contact to the system assemblies remain unchanged despite its innovative design. Thanks to the possibility of system integration, the new tablet press can be perfectly integrated in existing production environments. The F30i also features technical connectivity for state-of-the-art production environments, up to “Pharmaceutical production 4.0”. Cross-generation system compatibility Machine real-time...

Versatz um 3 mm nach links wegen Bun High-performance sampling of the first layer In order to monitor and control the tablet weight precisely, the F30i features optimized high-performance sampling for the first layer. This improved mechanism works with electropneumatic pressure roller adjustment and sampling of the first layer ensures that sufficiently hard tablets are swiftly produced. At the same time, this reduces product loss to a minimum.

Cross-generation compatibility The F30i is distinguished by its cross-generation system compatibility. Die and segment turrets can be easily adopted from the tablet presses of the previous i Series (3200i and 3090i). Furthermore, the principle of sampling of the first layer is identical for all bi-layer machines produced by Fette Compacting.

Press room with cleaning friendly design Dust-tight machine concept Frameless window flaps with detachable double lip seals Optimal access from all four sides Maximum conformity with GMP guidelines Easy-to-clean drawer elements Smooth surfaces Strict separation of drive elements and measuring points Process stability through cross-generation standardization All Fette Compacting tablet presses feature identical dwell times and compression rollers Mechanical or automatic penetration depth adjustments for optimal utilization of press zones Pressure relief – Software function for temporary reduction...

System and process compatibility of the new i generation The tablet presses in the new i generation are consistently designed in accordance with the principle of process and system compatibility. For this reason, all process-related assemblies are the same as in the old i Series. This system-compatible design significantly minimizes the efforts associated with machine validation and qualification. Compression rollers – Standard for all Fette Compacting tablet presses already installed Safety-optimized control cabinet Flexible separation of gray and white areas State-of-the-art IT for data processing...

Easy handling with tactile HMI and wizard An ultra-modern human machine interface (HMI) supports the user in the form of intuitive control, monitoring and documentation of the machine and process-equipment via a terminal with tactile feedback. At the software level, an assistant for workflows (workflow operation wizard) provides support in the safe and error-free implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs). Intuitive handling of the F30i also includes extremely simplified cleaning processes. Fast and intuitive cleaning HMI software with operating support Assistance systems for easy...

Optimized processes with SmartInterface and RFID The path to intelligent production in the future is paved in particular by the new SmartInterface offered by Fette Compacting. This key component is a server-based, real-time monitoring app enabling the user to supervise his production via mobile end devices. Users can download batch logs at any time and are always on top of the production parameters. In order to further improve process reliability and avoid set-up errors, the F30i also features an RFID option. Process and production safety through RFID Recipe-specific and reproducible hardware...
