Efficient tablet production starts well before the decision to invest in a tablet press is
made and extends far beyond actual production. Efficiency is the result of a continuous
process and successful collaboration by experts. We support you in all matters relating
to tableting – from process planning through optimum usage of installed equipment.
The 50 employees in our specially-trained technical field service (TAD) provide you with
worldwide support as do the service representatives in our national agencies. You can
take advantage of avail of our comprehensive range of consulting, training and testing
services at the locations of our five subsidiaries in the USA (Rockaway, NJ), Latin
America (Campinas), India (Goa), China (Nanjing) and Asia (Singapore).

OEM-spare-parts
As a technological leader, Fette
Compacting consistently relies on an
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
strategy for supplying users with spare
parts. This means that we only use parts
from original manufacturers in our own
presses and components, as well as in
peripheral equipment supplied by other
manufacturers.
Spare parts are supplied through our
international logistics network from our
headquarters in Schwarzenbek near
Hamburg and our subsidiaries in the USA,
South America and Asia.
+ Design and production “on demand” in
line with original production data and
special designs
+ Access to design and technical impro-
vements, as well as comprehensive
documentation
+ On-site installation by Fette Compac-
ting service technicians (on request)
+ Optional: Individual service contracts
with warranty retention and extensions
Compression tools
Fette Compacting is the only manu-
facturer of tablet presses that develops
its own punch designs and production.
Our range of products comprises both
punches complying with the two inter-
national standards, as well as tools
for special applications – from punching
to pressing, and washing agent tabs
to tools with which even the most com-
plex product formulations in the phar-
maceuticals industry can be compressed.
Quality is considered the top priority in
punch manufacturing. Fette Compacting
largely manufactures closer tolerances
than those specified by TSM or EU
standards. This translates into some
essential advantages for users:
+ Longer service lives of both tools and
machine components
+ Less maintenance and shorter down-
times
+ Optimized lubrication and lower spare
parts costs
Efficiency via optimum equipment
OEM peripheral spare parts for
+ Fette Gratex
+ Fette Checkmaster
+ Fette Weightmaster
+ Fette WiP Center
+ Vertical de-dusters
+ PKB devices
+ Isolators
+ Metal detectors
+ In-process control units
Tablet production can only be efficient if there is optimum interplay between presses
and components. Through our comprehensive range of equipment, we support you
in improving your production output and achieving sustained competitive
advantages.
