Key benefits
  • Accurate spray rate
  • Consistent amount of lubricant sprayed
  • Prevent lubricant recirculation
  • Retrofittable to all existing presses
  • Available for single and double sided tablet press
  • Fast & easy dismantling and cleaning

The eSpray is an ergonomic punch face and die wall lubrication system that continuously sprays dry lubricant onto tablet press tooling, delivering a consistent and verifiable amount of lubricant onto the product’s outer surface.

It is an easy and efficient solution to cope with issues such as capping, sticking, too high ejection force, chemical incompatibility with formulation, or poor dissolution.

The system applies only the needed amount of lubricant while vacuuming the excess directly from the nozzle to keep the production environment clean. It, therefore, helps to reduce the amount of dry lubricant in the blend, or even eliminate it in the case of new formulations.

The minimal quantity of lubricant sprayed externally onto the tablets can be accurately measured and validated below the threshold for listing as an ingredient in the formulation.
