  • Setting a New Benchmark for Ease of Operation

    The NP-255 is a robust tablet press that was built to meet even the most demanding needs of the mid-sized tableting industry. The press has features and options designed to increase production, improve tablet quality, reduce waste, and set a new benchmark for ease of operation. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, this unique machine has a maximum production speed of 192,000 tablets per hour.

    With a hardened steel die table, a gravity feeder that is interchangeable with a two-paddle forced feeder, and our industry-leading intuitive Natoli AIM™ ProPluscontrol system, the NP-255 is the new standard for value in the mid-sized tableting industry.

  • The Thermo Scientific Sentinel 4000 Drop Through System, or Sentinel 4000D, featuring multiscan technology with up to five user-selectable frequencies of detection, provides improved sensitivity and detection of contaminants in drop through applications including granular and powdered food products, cosmetics, and chemicals.

  • Ideal for small batch sizes, many format changes, or a wide variety of packaging materials – the BE4 reliably meets all requirements. It enables a highly efficient process thanks to the two-lane operation with a very small footprint. Thanks to the 100% modular concept of the Blister Expert platform, the BE4 can be upgraded to a high-speed solution at any time.

  • Marki Microwave waveguide twists provide accurate offsets and directional changes for waveguide transmission lines and are built with high precision and then gold plated for high corrosion resistance.

  • Every capsule and tablet begins with an idea. It takes a professional and innovative manufacturing partner to turn that idea into a reality. Enter Natoli, a name synonymous with excellence in pharmaceutical equipment and services. From the early stages of formulation to the grand scale of full-blown production, Natoli offers a seamless journey through every step of the process. Whether you’re unsure of how to start or how to finish, Natoli can guide the way.

Catalysts

Catalysts work by changing the structure of a molecule or by bonding to reactant molecules causing them to combine, react, and release a product or energy.  For example, a catalyst is required in order for oxygen and hydrogen to bond, combine and produce water.

Catalysts increase the rate of chemical reactions. Unlike a reagent that gets consumed as apart of the chemical reaction, catalysts do not get consumed in the reaction. They can actually participate in multiple chemical transformations.Catalysts can be organic, synthetic or metal.

All processes need energy to take place. Processes require a very high level of energy in order to spark or start if a catalyst isn’t present.  When a catalyst is present the amount of energy required to spark the reaction is lowered and that makes the reaction happen faster and more efficiently.

Catalytic effects vary depending on other substances present that are a part of the chemical reactions. There are certain substances that can inhibit the effectiveness of a catalyst like poisons, and other substances that promote or increase the effect of the catalyst.  Inhibitors or negative catalysts are very important in medicine to treat mental illnesses, high blood pressure, cancer and many other diseases.

Catalysts are often used to help crack, or split, larger organic molecules like hydrocarbons into simpler molecules. It does this by breaking carbon-carbon bonds. The speed of the splitting process depends heavily on what specific catalyst is used and the temperature.  Applications of this technology include oil and petrochemical industries.
