Compaction Simulators

A Compaction Simulator is a piece of equipment that has been designed specifically for simulating the production process of compressing powders into pellets or tablets. The machine allows the user to reduce the risk of scale-up issues by compressing the powder at production speeds using production press profiles. You can assess the suitability of your product with as little as 20g of development formulation.

Accessories

We have a range of accessories for our compaction simulators, from adhesion punches, intelli-punches, and instrumented die. 

About Our Compaction Simulators

A hydraulic simulator is the most versatile means to simulate a wide variety of production tablet presses, as well as enabling alternative profiles for material characterisation testing (V-shaped profiles). This incredibly accurate data enables huge savings in both time and money during the scale-up and production processes. 

The Phoenix Compaction Simulator is entirely designed and built in-house, including the electronics, software and mechanical system, giving the ability to evolve and develop any aspect of the system as user needs change over time. The machine frame is purpose-built, compact and lightweight in design to suit the modern facility requirements. 
 
The Phoenix Compaction Simulator is the result of development and collaboration with compaction simulator users over the past 30 years, from the very first ESH Testing Simulator built in 1982, incorporating features to suit a wide range of user needs from early-stage material characterisation to troubleshooting production problems.

 

For customers who have a need for this type of testing, but do not have a full-time requirement, our sister company Merlin Powder Characterisation is equipped with a Phoenix Compaction Simulator and a full range of accessories, offering subcontract powder characterisation services.

Testimonials

Phoenix designed and installed a full ring main and power pack, which has reliably supplied 180lpm of oil to the machines in our test lab since 2010.

Bamber Blackman, Reader in the Mechanics of Materials, Imperial College London

Our research has often led us to modify existing machines in order to try unusual testing regimes. Phoenix are our ‘company of choice’ when it comes to this sort of machine modification

Dave Price, Manager Structural Materials Group, University of Birmingham

Phoenix has offered us all round support, from servicing and calibrating our in-house equipment, to designing and building machines that comply with the new industry test standards, as well as carrying out sub-contract testing that allowed us to maintain our product accreditation

Stuart Ramella, Technical Manager, Polypipe Civils
