The Pharmag P-RIVA MiniPress (a series of miniature tablet and solid dosage form development equipment under the German Pharma Test Group) is a high-precision single-pump benchtop tablet system specifically designed for drug research and development (R&D), formulation development (Galenical Labs), academic research institutions, and small-scale pilot production.

I. Minimal R&D and Material Saving: Supports manual single-capsule or hopper-based small-batch tableting, requiring only a few grams of sample for testing, significantly saving precious API raw materials.

II. Standard mold compatibility: Compatible with Euro B / Euro D and TSM international standard dies, supports round and irregular shaped ingots, quick-release design for rapid mold change and cleaning.

III. Instrumentation Mechanics Analysis: Optional pressure and displacement sensors can be added to monitor the pressure bar and ejection force in real time, providing a "force-displacement curve" to assist in mass production scale-up.

IV. cGMP Safety Protection: Contact parts are made of pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel and equipped with transparent interlocking safety covers. The compact body is suitable for operation on laboratory tables or in glove boxes.

Equipment Introduction

• Develop a minimal API consumption and versatile feeding workflow.

  • Minimal Sample Requirement : Supports micro-volume manual single-tablet filling mode, requiring only a few grams of precious active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or formulation excipient to complete tablet testing, significantly reducing the initial prescription development cost of new drugs.

  • Dual Feeding Versatility : It has two modes: "manual single-piece precise feeding" and "gravity-driven continuous automatic feeding from the hopper", seamlessly connecting early formulation feasibility assessment to pre-clinical small-batch trials.

• Universal Tooling Compatibility & Diverse Tablet Geometries

  • Fully compatible with international standard tooling specifications : Fully compatible with Euro B, Euro D and TSM international standard die specifications, maximizing the interchangeability and asset utilization of existing laboratory molds.

  • Versatile Tablet Shapes : Supports molding and appearance evaluation of various standard round tablets, irregularly shaped tablets (such as elongated oval, capsule, triangular/polygonal), as well as engraved and scored tablets.

  • Modular Quick-Change Design : The die and blanking flow channel adopt a modular structure, which can quickly complete the specification change and adjustment without complicated special tools, significantly improving the switching efficiency of multiple project development.

• Instrumented Compression Dynamics & Scale-Up Evaluation

  • High-precision force and displacement sensors : Optional high-sensitivity piezoelectric force sensors (load cells) and punch displacement sensors can be used to measure and record the main pressure bar force and ejection force in real time.

  • Comprehensive Compression Profiling : Supports real-time generation of force-displacement curves, Heckel equation curves, and compression work analysis, providing scientific data for the compressibility characteristics, shatter strength correlation, and scale-up of prescription powders.

• Pharmaceutical-grade corrosion-resistant materials and cGMP hygienic design standards.

  • Pharma-Grade Contact Parts : All key components that come into contact with the drug powder are made of high-purity AISI 316/304 pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel and certified high-abrasion-resistant engineering materials, providing excellent resistance to chemical corrosion.

  • Flat and easy-to-clean design (No Dead Corners & Easy Disassembly) : The tablet area has a compact and flat structure with no dead corners for cleaning. All contact components can be quickly disassembled for deep cleaning and effectiveness, fully complying with cGMP, GLP and FDA cleaning verification standards.

• Comprehensive Safety Interlocks & Compact Benchtop Ergonomics

  • Transparent Safety Interlocked Enclosure : Equipped with a high-strength, fully transparent safety enclosure and an electrical interlock switch, opening the enclosure automatically cuts off the power supply and shuts down the machine in an emergency, ensuring the safety of operators.

  • Compact Benchtop Footprint : The compact design and stable, low-vibration operation allow it to be placed directly on a standard laboratory tabletop, in a fume hood, or in a glove box isolator, making it suitable for closed operating environments for highly active pharmaceutical ingredients (HPAPIs).
