Mega Press Rotary Series Press



The Linotech Mega Press Industrial Rotary Tablet Press

This is the largest rotary press that we offer for the high throughput production of single and dual layer tablets with one outlet. This machine enjoys Linotech's extensive experiencing in manufacturing large diameter turret machines for pressing multi layer tablets. This press has proved to be very successful for manufacturing Chlorine-based swimming pool tablets. It can be customized for other applications according to client specifications and can be adapted to a tablet-over-tablet or a tablet-within-tablet system.


The Mega Press is capable of pressing tablets up to 100 mm in diameter with a pre-compression force up to 150 kN and a main compression force up to 600 kN during continuous production.


Depending on tablet size and number of layers, it can produce over 27,000 tablets/hour.


These presses are designed according to customer specifications and can be delivered to press cored (tablet-within-tablet) tablets directly in the machine.


As with all Linotech presses, these machines reflect over 65 years' of experience in large industrial rotary tableting presses.


The PLC based press controls are customized to each customer’s requirements. Linotech Presses employ Siemens PLCs  with 12 inch touch screen HMI with different access levels for operators and supervisors.


Surfaces are made of stainless steel or coated with application-specific corrosion resistant coatings. The enclosures are safety interlocked with a smooth fit and finish for product containment. The compression chamber can be kept under negative air pressure to reduce operator exposure to dust.  


The turrets have hard chrome plating on the working surfaces. Punch holders ride in lubricated bushings. The turrets are driven by powerful AC motors coupled with frequency inverters. The turret drives have enough torque so that the presses can be restarted under full load without stalling.
