Moreover, its remote control functionality offers increased operational flexibility, making it ideal for large-scale manufacturing environments or situations where direct machine access is limited. Built for durability, the Stokes Model 747 is well-suited to withstand the demands of continuous, high-volume production. Its robust construction promises long-term reliability, an essential factor for busy production lines. The user-friendly interface of the machine streamlines the operational process, reducing the learning curve for new operators and thereby maximizing productivity while minimizing downtime. Safety, a paramount concern in its design, is addressed through various integrated safeguards, ensuring operator protection and compliance with industry safety regulations. The machine's maintenance and cleaning processes are notably efficient, with easy access to parts facilitating quick servicing and minimal production interruption.

Main Benefits

  • Hinged Aprons for Easy Punch Access: Allows for quick and easy access to punches for maintenance or replacement without the need to remove feeders, reducing downtime and increasing operational efficiency.

  • Optional Sensor to Prevent Punch and Cam Wear: Automatically shuts down the press if the upper punches become too tight, preventing damage to punches and cams, which can be costly to replace.

  • Stainless Steel Die Table Dust Collection Nozzles: Keeps the machine cleaner for longer periods, reducing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, and ensuring a more hygienic production environment.

  • Upper and Lower Punch Seals on Turrets to Extend Tooling Lifespan: These seals protect the tooling from wear and contamination, prolonging their usable life and ensuring consistent tablet quality.

  • Hopper Sensor for Low Powder Notification: Alerts the operator when powder levels are low, ensuring continuous production without interruptions and maintaining consistent tablet quality.

  • Motor-Driven Mechanical Feeders with Star Wheels: Enhances die filling, increasing production speed and efficiency, which is crucial for meeting high-volume manufacturing demands.

  • Automatic Lubrication System for Smooth Operation: Ensures consistent oiling of upper and lower punches, leading to smoother operation, reduced wear, and longer machine life.

The Stokes Model 747’s energy-efficient design not only reduces operational costs but also aligns with sustainable manufacturing practices, minimizing its environmental impact. This efficiency extends to its precision in tablet production, which helps in reducing material waste. In essence, the Stokes Model 747 combines advanced technology, robust construction, and user-focused design to deliver high-quality tablets at impressive speeds. Its adaptability to a range of production needs, coupled with its efficient, safe, and sustainable operation, makes it an outstanding choice for any high-volume tablet production facility, solidifying its position as a leading machine in the tablet press industry.
