Currently acting as COO of the group, Mr. Schoch has been working for Krämer AG since 2013, assuming various roles and functions within the organization. “We are very pleased that with Woody Schoch we have been able to thoroughly plan and execute a smooth succession planning”, says Dr. Walter Meyer, Chairman of the Board of Krämer AG. Mr. Schoch has a scientific background with more than 20 years of experience in the field of machinery industry for applications in Pharma, Life-Sciences and Laboratory/Biotechnology. Mr Schoch is optimistic: “Despite all challenges and hurdles in our global market I am fully convinced that thanks to a solid and strong foundation we can even get stronger in the years to come.”

Mr. Torre works as Head of Local Project Management at SwissCo Services AG and was in close contact with Krämer AG during and after the project phase. Both sides were able to benefit from the respective expertise and support, so that the best possible solution was implemented.

Mr. Torre please explain briefly who SwissCo Services AG is and what the company manufactures?
Since 1968, SwissCo Services AG (Member of the Aenova Group) has been a reliable partner for development and contract manufacturing of solid dosage forms. We are specialized in handling moisture-sensitive APIs and products and can offer all relevant technologies from manufacturing to packaging.

What has been a challenge for you in production?
The main aim of the project was to increase the output of the entire tablet press. For this, a so-called segment turret had to be integrated into the tablet press and qualified. However, the existing deduster would not have had the necessary dedusting and conveying capacity to cope with the new output. For this reason, the solution with new dedusters including V5000 12-way diverter system was developed in cooperation with Krämer AG. The new KD7015A system is much quieter, more efficient and dust tight, which is an important side effect in terms of occupational safety of our operators.
Another challenge for the general reconstruction of the room and the upgrade of the tablet press was primarily the narrow time window before the Christmas holidays in 2020 As the tablet press in question is operated 24 hours a day, five days a week. As a result, all trades, deliveries and qualification activities had to be coordinated for the implementation of the two tablet dedusters as well as the associated 12-way diverter systems.

Why did you decide on KAG, what was different compared to the competitors?
We have a long-standing, trustful relationship with Krämer AG. However, the basis for our decision was the technical solution to our requirements. The overall package consisting of technology, service and costs was completely convincing.

Due to the high quality of the systems, Krämer AG can be recommended without reservation. The excellent service and the timely implementation of the projects also contribute to this.

Both lines are available as stand-alone or combined units, with immediate effect.

For Kramer as a machine manufacturer, this means that our deduster and capsule polisher designs take into account all possible operational scenarios, eliminating any ignition sources. This is the reason why Kramer is constantly striving to maintain and keep up-to-date all safety requirements.

Through our innovation and forward-looking vision, we have achieved a new standard in ATEX certification, which makes Kramer machines even safer and more stable than before.

The new ATEX classification* Zone 21  II 2D/- Db 200 °C  is fulfilled by following machine types KCP Series, KD70 DT Series und KD70 WiP Series.

* if the products conform to the safety characteristics described below, the interior of the machine is suitable for use in potentially explosive areas of Zone 21. The installation area of the machine is zone-free.

Since this testing takes time and in order to segregate in process tablets from being loaded into the large volume batch intermediate bulk container (IBC) while the testing has verified these parameters, Krämer has developed a filling system, consisting of one or two intermediate surge hoppers, available in different volumes. Thanks to this solution the production process, in the event of non-performance of a quality characteristic, will not be automatically loaded into the IBC. The rejects are limited to the contents of the surge tank and therefore only a fraction of the entire production lot. The system can be combined with all KD70 series dedusters. For the version with two containers, the manual 2-way diverter KV2010 or automatic 2-way diverter KV2020 can be used. At the outlet of the surge hopper a special 4" tri-clamp tablet valve with silicone flap allows smooth feeding of the product into the IBC. Optionally, the levels of the surge hopper can be monitored by means of sensors. The control of the system can be operated either through integrated Krämer controller or via the tablet press / capsule filling machine.

Past & Future
40 years after we invented the very first deduster E79 Krämer proudly looks back on countless innovations in the field of dedusting. Have a look at a selection of them in our history.

We are always building on our experience to develop innovative products for the future. We started our 40th year with the introduction of an upward conveying capsule polisher KCP, continuing the innovation that has made Krämer the worldwide leader in tablet dedusting.

To get a picture of our products you can visit us on one of the exhibitions listed in our new sector for trade shows & events.

The rotational spiral brush designed specifically for capsule applications polishes gently and removes excess dust. The perforated housing allows ideal aspiration of the dust. The device outlet can be fitted with peripherals such as metal detectors, empty capule sorters, diverter switches and slides.

This handy diagnostic tool senses whether the vibration of the deduster housing is within the proper limits. Use this app to help determine if your Krämer Deduster is running properly. Excessive housing vibration can be an indication that service is required. If the app meter needle stays within the Green zone no service is required, if in the Yellow zone service should be done in the near future, and if in the Red zone service needs to be done immediately.

The Krämer Vibration Meter App. Is optimized for iPhone 5, 5S, 6, 6S, and works with iPhone 4, 4S, and select Android phones.
