Matsui’s TABROPS Tablet Transfer System
|
 Increasing requirements for factory automation in pharmaceutical plants have led production engineers to look beyond conventional methods of tablet handling. The TABROPS system developed by Matsui is a proven alternative to traditional methods, providing an effective and assured solution for the transfer of tablets. TABROPS, an innovative system dedicated to tablet conveying, transfers tablets damage-free in any sections of the solid dosage form manufacturing process. It is a closed material handling system based on the unique concept and technology of shuttle transfer. A shuttle filled with tablets runs pneumatically through a sealed pipe.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, a wide range of automatic conveying equipment is available to transfer powder or granular materials before it is fed into the tablet press. After the tablet compression, however, there has been no ideal systems available in the market to convey tablets without providing a source of chipping or breakage. This has prevented automation of the entire tablet production process. With the TABROPS system added, the automatic conveying of all the materials from powders or granules to tablets has been realized in the pharmaceutical plant.
