The winner
The winner of our oldest machine contest is Douglas Pharmaceuticals Fiji Ltd. Their Manesty RD3 tablet press was manufactured in 1947. The machine shows no signs of slowing down despite its age and some limitations. To say it in the words of our winner:
"We’ve run some of our toughest
products on this machine and found
very little to complain about."
