Predictive scale-up with the STYL’One Evo

STYL'One Evo Compaction Simulator

The STYL’One Evo is a fully instrumented single-station compaction simulator capable of emulating virtually any rotary press. Dual independent motors control the upper and lower punches, providing precise pre-compression, main compression, and ejection forces.

The Evo handles single-layer to five-layer tablets, uses pre-configured profiles for all production presses, and offers high-resolution data acquisition (1 N compression force, 1 μm displacement). Optional modules, including roller compaction simulation and a GMP production module, make it ideal for early-stage formulation and small clinical batch production.

Seamless transfer from lab to production

Dr. Moritz Rosch from the KORSCH INNOVATION CENTER demonstrated how a compaction cycle recipe created on the STYL’One Evo can be directly transferred to a production press, such as the KORSCH X 3. This allows formulators to simulate compaction cycles with minimal material, measure tablet characteristics, and replicate the same parameters on a production machine.

A bilayer tablet case study showed that tablets produced on the STYL’One Evo matched the X3 press in hardness, friability, disintegration, and dissolution profiles, confirming the simulator’s reliability for predictive scale-up.

Material characterization and troubleshooting

Beyond scale-up, the STYL’One Evo supports material characterization, formulation optimization, and troubleshooting. Heated dies allow testing under variable temperatures, while instrumented dies measure die-wall pressures and take-off forces, providing critical insights into tablet quality. Only 5–20 grams of material are needed per simulation, making it ideal for high-value APIs or limited material scenarios.

Flexible and efficient tablet development

From single-layer lab testing to multilayer tablets, and from dry containment setups to full wash-in-place configurations, the STYL’One Evo provides a complete solution for tablet formulation R&D and production scale-up. By enabling predictive, data-driven development, the Evo helps companies save time, reduce waste, and ensure consistent product quality.
