XL 400 - Flexible Technology-6

Functional Design Maximizes Productivity The KORSCH design makes optimal use of the pitch circle – from die filling to tablet ejection. The strategic placement of all major components in the rear cabinet, and the open compression zone design, offers superior access for operation, cleaning, changeover, and maintenance. The isolation of the carrier plate virtually eliminates vibration and noise generation, and minimal parts are required for dis­ assembly and setup. The result is a streamlined design and an extremely efficient changeover process. Superior Accessibility to Compression Zone The...

XL 400 - Flexible Technology-7

Minimal Noise and Vibration The unique and patented design of the carrier plate, with ■ Very low noise emission <75 dB(A) pneumatic dampers, fully isolates vibration from the head piece and machine base. ■ No vibration transmission to the floor of the compression room The result is an extreme reduction in operating noise level, even with high compression forces and high press speeds. ■ No segregation of powder in the feeding system which can occur with machine vibration
